From Tragedy to Triumph A Memoir: A Personal Journey of Healing, Love, Purpose & Legacy

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.
