A Story of Strength, Laughter, and Finding Your Way
Living the Dream: A Military Coming-of-Age Story
My fictionalized memoir, Living the Dream, is an unapologetic celebration of resilience, identity, and growth as a Black woman veteran. Inspired by my journey as a Jamaican immigrant and Marine Corps Persian Gulf War veteran, this story captures the humor, heartbreak, and hope of forging your path in a world that doesn’t always see you.
Through the lens of the main character, I explore what it means to embrace authenticity, navigate systems not built for us, and find the strength to thrive anyway.
More than a story, Living the Dream is a movement to amplify overlooked voices. If you’re ready to laugh, cry, and feel deeply understood, this book is for you. Let’s celebrate the strength and beauty of resilience together
