A Story of Strength, Healing & Purpose
Nice to meet you. I’m Erica.
I was born into a world of uncertainty—a child without answers, without belonging, without the presence of the people who gave me life. Adoption gave me a family, gave me stability, gave me love. But even with that love, there were questions that lingered, wounds that never truly healed, moments where I wondered if the pieces of myself that felt missing would ever be found.
For years, I carried the weight of abandonment, of loss, of aching for something that had always been out of reach. I fought through broken relationships, through rejection, through the silent belief that if I was just good enough, just lovable enough, just worthy enough—I wouldn’t have to feel this way. But then, I became a mother.
And nothing in this world could have prepared me for how deeply it would change me.
Having my son was the beginning of a new chapter—a chapter that forced me to heal, forced me to reflect, forced me to stand in my truth and rewrite the narrative that had kept me small for so long.
This book, She Rises – Unleashing Your Inner Strength and Unapologetic Confidence, is my story, my survival, my testimony. It is everything I have fought through, everything I have overcome, everything I have learned in the depths of healing. It is proof that no matter what tried to break me, I was never meant to stay down—I was meant to rise.
But my journey is not just about me.
It is about every woman who has ever felt unseen. Every woman who has loved deeply but never felt love returned. Every woman who has struggled to find her worth in the aftermath of pain.
That is why I created D4G: EmpowerHer—a space where women can heal, grow, and reclaim the power within them.
Through empowerment, honesty, and unwavering support, D4G: EmpowerHer is more than a movement—it is a declaration that women deserve to be heard, to be loved, to take up space without fear or apology.
This is for the women who are still searching, for the ones who are still fighting through their healing, for the ones who know they are meant for more but don’t know how to take the first step.
I see you. I hear you. And I promise you—your story isn’t over yet. You are stronger than you think, worth more than you realize, and capable of rising beyond anything that tried to break you.
Welcome to my world. Welcome to She Rises. Welcome to D4G: EmpowerHer—where we rise, together.
