The Architect of After: From the Red Dirt of Jamaica to the Office of Success (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996086900)

The Architect of After is a raw, cinematic memoir-meets-manifesto for every woman who has ever wondered if she is more than what was done to her. Born in the red dust of rural Jamaica, Nalhlie walked eight miles to school barefoot, survived assault on the road to her classroom, watched her father disappear into a bottle, and crossed an ocean with nothing but ambition and a suitcase full of books. In America, the hard work did not stop - it simply changed its uniform. She took three buses to work before dawn, pursued her MBA from the backseat of a car that held everything she owned, raised her daughter alone through Hurricane Katrina, and built a career in insurance and executive leadership - all while quietly dismantling the grief, resentment, and unprocessed trauma that threatened to undo everything she was building. And when a diagnosis changed the air in the room, she did what she had always done: she laid herself face down before God and rose up knowing it would be alright.
