“Before I ever sat in a church pew, I sat at the feet of my elders.”
Some lessons are taught in classrooms. Others are handed down in kitchens, gardens, sanctuaries, and quiet spaces where elders tell the truth.
In Determined to Rise, Felicia J. Brittingham reaches back to the people, prayers, and hard-earned understanding that formed her. Through honest testimony and lyrical reflection, she explores faith, Black identity, motherhood, work, money, grief, community, survival, and the responsibility to break what should not be passed down.
This is not nostalgia that pretends the past was perfect. It honors what kept us, names what wounded us, and asks us to decide what we will carry forward.
For every woman learning to trust what is already in her hands, stop waiting for permission, break unhealthy cycles, and become the ancestor someone else will need, this book offers remembrance, resilience, and a charge:
Sit down. Listen. Remember. Rise.
