THE GIFT OF THE SETBACK
How Setbacks Can Be the Unlikely Hero in Your Comeback Story
Sometimes it’s the broken roads of our lives that lead us to the most fascinating destinations
These Broken Roads: Scammed and Vindicated, One Woman’s Story
My award-winning memoir chronicles my remarkable journey from poverty in Jamaica, West Indies to Wall Street boardrooms. My life story is riddled with abandonment, abuse, bullying, violence, and a well-orchestrated scam. However, this story is one of resilience and hope as I triumph over adversity to find redemption.
