And Then She Persisted, is the story of overcoming generational trauma, abuse, and neglect. It is the story of standing up against racism. It's a story of advocacy, passion, allyship, and surrendering to stepping into one's purpose.

This book started as many blog journals, schooling, training, therapy, light night talks with my friends, channeling into my spirituality, and a plethora of other methods to work through compartmentalizing through the childhood trauma I endured, and finding myself on my journey to being antiracist.

Although I did not know at the time, childhood trauma, and systemic racism that our county is built upon, really conditioned me to be a person that I had learn to persist against.

Throughout the memoir, I walk through my childhood and all of the trauma, abuse, and neglect that I endured from my birth until moving out of my home. It covers the importance of relationships in my life. It covers finding myself as a biracial woman, who was raised in a white home with no access to my black family, struggling with my identity and finding a springboard of support to really put my all into my journey of identity development and Antiracism education.

It is a woven story of my memoir and self-help of ways to start and continue on one's anti-racist journey, with some information about advocating in between.

And then she persisted.
