From childhood rejection to adult resilience,
Destined to Rise
is a raw, emotional, and ultimately empowering story of one woman's fight to find peace, purpose, and unconditional love-within herself.
Raised by her God-fearing grandmother after her mother abandoned her, Destiny Jackson learned early on that love came with conditions-and survival came with sacrifice. With a father in and out of prison and a home filled with silence instead of support, Destiny was forced to grow up fast, working for everything she had and clinging to her faith like a lifeline.
But when a fire burns her childhood home to ashes, Destiny's life spirals. Forced to live with the very woman who didn't want her, under the roof of a cruel stepfather, Destiny begins hiding parts of herself just to stay safe-including her sexuality, her struggles, and later, her cancer diagnosis.
Even as life deals blow after blow-chemo, betrayal, abandonment-Destiny keeps fighting. She becomes a mother, a provider, and finally... her own healer. Through pain, she finds strength. Through heartbreak, she finds purpose. And when she chooses to love herself fully, she finally discovers peace-not in the arms of a man, but in the power of her own voice.
is an unforgettable story of survival, motherhood, self-discovery, and the fierce determination to break generational curses and become everything they said she couldn't be.
