From Brokenness To Brilliance Anthology
Book Interview
Dr. Lashonda Wofford, introduce and tell the readers about yourself as the Visionary Author of anthology book, "From Brokenness To Brilliance: Finding Purpose And Passion In Your Pain."
Before any other title, I am a woman of faith and a woman of God. My life is anchored in purpose, guided by grace, and committed to service. I am a devoted wife, loving mother, and proud grandmother. Every role I hold is deeply meaningful, and each reflects the values I carry into every room, relationship, and assignment.
As the Visionary Author of From Brokenness to Brilliance: Finding Purpose and Passion in Your Pain, I have the honor of leading a collective of powerful voices who turned their pain into purpose and their experiences into impact. This anthology is not just a book—it’s a movement of healing, restoration, and resilience.
I am a Philanthropist, Award-Winning Entrepreneur, Multi-Time International Best Selling Author, and Certified Master Empowerment Coach. My journey has afforded me the opportunity to serve as a Community Leader, Advocate, and Mentor, walking alongside others as they rise into their own brilliance.
I am also the Curator and Founder of two powerful platforms: All Bets On Me, which champions personal reinvention, and EmpowerHer Legacy: Purposeful Collective, Founder /Instructor at the All Bets On Me Academy, a space for women to lead with courage, confidence, and calling.
Through every endeavor, my mission remains the same—to empower others to rise from what tried to break them, and boldly walk in the brilliance they were born to carry.
What inspired you to create the anthology book "From Brokenness To Brilliance?"
The inspiration behind From Brokenness to Brilliance began with what I call a divine download from God—a vision, an assignment placed in my spirit that I could not ignore. I knew this project was more than a book; it was a call to gather women, to uplift them, and to shine a light on the power of healing through faith.
Women are among the most resilient creations to ever walk the earth. Yet, we are also among the most mishandled, mistreated, underestimated, and often left in silent places of brokenness. Life has a way of throwing curveballs that knock us down, leaving us in vulnerable, uncertain spaces where it feels as though pain is all we’ll ever know.
I created this anthology to be a restoration of hope. I wanted women to see what happens when we allow God into those broken places—how He shows up, fights for us, lifts us, and begins the process of transforming our pain into purpose, our wounds into wisdom, and our brokenness into brilliance.
This collaboration is a testament to God’s unmatched power and relentless love. It is proof that no matter how far we’ve fallen or how deep the pain runs, brilliance is still possible.
You have contributing writers in this anthology book, tell the readers about each chapter in this powerful book?
From Brokenness to Brilliance: Finding Purpose and Passion in Your Pain is more than an anthology—it is a sacred offering. This book is a healing balm, a faith-filled declaration, and a reminder that brokenness is not the end of our story, but often the place where purpose is birthed.
Each of these phenomenal women poured their hearts onto the pages, and their bravery, vulnerability, and triumph are felt in every chapter.
The Foreword by Dr. Jacqueline Wilson sets the tone with spiritual insight and wisdom, framing this work as a much-needed resource for those navigating life’s hardest seasons.
In the Introduction, I share my own journey as the Visionary Author and lay the foundation for what this book represents—hope, healing, and divine restoration.
Let me introduce you to the powerful chapters and voices that make up this life-changing book:

Marcy’s story reminds us of the moment everything shatters—but also of the strength that begins to emerge in that very breaking. She invites us to witness the resilience required to rise from sudden shifts and painful transitions.
Chapter 2: In the Depths of Despair: Coping in the Seasons of Darkness by Pastor Yolanda Pinkney-Coleman
Pastor Yolanda takes us into the valley—the dark, isolated places where we often feel forgotten. With transparency and truth, she shares how faith sustained her when life’s weight felt unbearable.
Chapter 3: From Brokenness to Brilliance: Finding Purpose and Passion Beyond Your Pain by Sandra Wolf
Sandra’s journey is one of transformation. She beautifully illustrates how God can repurpose our pain and realign our lives with destiny, even when we feel most shattered.

Dawanna’s chapter is an anthem of victory. She shares her process of surrendering anxiety, fear, and doubt—and choosing purpose through divine wisdom and inner peace.
Chapter 6: Cultivating Passion and Confidence: Rebuilding Self-Esteem and Rediscovering Joy by Dr. Karon Graves
Dr. Karon’s story is one of rediscovery. She empowers readers to rebuild their self-worth, rekindle passion, and reclaim the joy life may have tried to steal.
Chapter 7: From Silence to Significance: Reclaiming My Voice, Boldness, and Brilliance by Carol Andrews
Carol’s chapter is a call to rise. Her words echo the journey of silenced women everywhere who are now boldly reclaiming their voices and walking in significance.
Chapter 8: From Brokenness to Brilliance: The Power of Community and Walking in Purpose by Dr. Lashonda Wofford
In my chapter, I share how God used community and divine alignment to bring me from isolation and internal pain to a place of purpose, passion, and leadership. It is a testimony of what happens when we allow others to walk with us through our healing.
To support the reader’s own journey, I’ve included a Workbook & Guided Journal at the end of the book. This interactive section is designed to help readers reflect deeply, write their truth, and take intentional steps toward healing and purpose.
Each chapter in this anthology is a light—proof that brokenness is not where we end, but where brilliance begins. These women are not just authors; they are warriors, survivors, and radiant examples of God’s restorative power.
