Our Power-The Anthology: A Series of Unfortunate Events

When life yanked the ground from beneath her-quite literally leaving her underwear around her ankles-LaKisha Maxey had two choices: crumble under the weight of loss or laugh, pray, and fight her way back. In A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Disabled Edition, LaKisha shares her powerful and unfiltered journey in this inspiring anthology. From the vibrant streets of the Bronx to the clinical world of rehab and recovery, she recounts the life-altering stroke that forced her to relearn everything-from how to walk to how to carry her dignity when everything else seemed to fall apart. With humor, grit, and grace, LaKisha invites readers into her world of pink walkers, roundhouse kick-walks, and upside-down socks-all while navigating the physical and emotional toll of disability. It's a love letter to her fiercely protective father, superhero mother, and loyal friends whose laughter helped her find healing. Rooted in scripture and fueled by faith, LaKisha's story is a reminder that joy comes not in the absence of hardship, but in the choice to rise anyway. Her journey proves that dignity isn't about never falling-it's about how boldly you rise, even when your underwear is around your ankles.
