Still I Rise
A powerful memoir of resilience, transformation, and the unbreakable spirit of motherhood.
When a devastating cancer diagnosis threatens to destroy everything she's built, a single mother of five refuses to let circumstances define her future. While juggling chemotherapy treatments, caring for her mother with dementia, and pursuing her dream of becoming a school principal, she discovers that true strength isn't about never falling—it's about how magnificently you rise.
Written in Dr. Delisa's bold, unflinching voice, "Still I Rise" cuts through inspirational platitudes to deliver hard-won wisdom about surviving the unsurvivable. This isn't just a cancer survival story—it's a blueprint for turning your deepest challenges into your greatest strengths.
From the sterile corridors of oncology wards to the chaotic beauty of single motherhood, from the quiet devastation of watching a parent disappear to dementia to the triumphant moment of achieving long-deferred dreams, this memoir speaks to anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by life's impossible demands.
"Still I Rise" proves that your story isn't ending when everything falls apart—it's just beginning.
