Yasmine Arrington Brooks has two new books out—available now

Yasmine Arrington Brooks (Leading with Conviction™ 2019) has two new, self-published books out now! Here they are:

“From Tragedy to Triumph is the memoir of Yasmine Arrington Brooks, in which she recounts pivotal moments in her life, from her teenage years to her young adult years, that were traumatic, disturbing, inspirational, victorious, and transformational. Yasmine lets the reader in on the good, the bad and the ugly – her deepest wounds, struggles, introspections, and epiphanies as she navigates witnessing domestic violence and alcoholism, parental incarceration, depression, abandonment, grief, poverty, betrayals, isolation, international travel, academia, the fashion industry, nonprofit work, traditional religious spaces, spirituality, healing, forgiveness, love, and newfound fame.

“Yasmine reflects on the lessons that each moment or season taught her and how her faith got her through difficult times. Yasmine challenges the status quo, societal norms and expectations, as well as religious and spiritual beliefs, and preconceived notions. This memoir takes you on an incredible journey of a young girl who grew up in humble beginnings in Washington, D.C., who wasn’t afraid to dream big, stand for justice, serve others, ask for help, pursue higher education, and take giant leaps of faith, which led her to national stages and miraculous breakthroughs. This memoir is guaranteed to evoke occasional nostalgia and make you laugh, cry, and experience every emotion in between. Yasmine’s story is one we didn’t know we needed.”
