Fighting Against the Odds: From Disapproval to Self-Acceptance chronicles the lifelong journey of Dr. Kimberlyn Negret.

Her transparent storytelling discusses how she suffered from the ill effects of sexual abuse, date rape, domestic violence, low self-esteem, suicidal ideations which plummeted her into years of undiagnosed Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and depression. She also depicts a spiritual awakening that changed the trajectory of her life by dealing with what she deemed as “church drama compounded by her past trauma.

” With the domino effect in full effect, culminating into a series of relationship woes, she fought to find the courage and strength to break every generational cycle attached to her and her family. Vividly recalling each tumultuous encounter as an attempt to derail her destiny, Dr.

Negret boldly tackled what plagued her and is now using it to encourage others by her “No sister left behind” approach. She believes, “We are not what they say.

We are not even what we have been through. We are what He says about us.

” With those words resonating in her soul, she transcribed this memoir to lift the spirits of all who read it. .
