Unparalyzed is a deeply personal memoir about grit. It is about refusal to give up. To allow adversity and difficult circumstances to win. But victory is one of its lessons too. It is the book that the late Toni Morrison inspired me to write. The book I wanted to read so I could see myself in another woman whose experiences were like my own. A 30-something divorced, professional woman of color with an invisible and incurable chronic illness and insatiable determination. To accompany similarly situated women as they stumble along the paths of their own journeys and to live the type of big colorful life that her son will be proud of and inspired by. It was a book that was not yet written and so, I wrote it.
