In addition, she has received the National Urban League’s “Women of Power” award, the Preston Taylor Living Legacy Award, the Balm in Gilead Keeper of the Flame Award, and Ebony Magazine’s “Power 100” list recognized her as one of the nation’s most influential African American leaders.

A native of Roanoke, Virginia, Hale received a Bachelor of Arts in music from Hollins University, a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from United Theological Seminary. In addition, she holds five honorary Doctorates of Divinity and an honorary Doctor of Law degree.

In January 2010, she authored her first book, “I’m A Piece of Work: Sisters Shaped by God.” In addition, Hale is a contributing writer for many books and publications, including Power in the Pulpit II: How America’s Most Effective Black Preachers Prepare their Sermons and the preaching resource series, Feasting on the Gospels.
