Detra Ferguson \u2014 Rooted in Truth. Rising in Purpose.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Detra Ferguson is a mother, entrepreneur, healer, and truth-teller who turned her pain into purpose and her story into strength. Raised in a family where love and hurt lived side-by-side, she learned early how to survive storms \u2014 but she chose to grow from them instead.<\/p>\n

For years, Detra carried unspoken pain \u2014 childhood wounds, family conflict, loss, and the quiet battles so many women fight behind closed doors. She built success, businesses, and a life she could be proud of, yet it was her inner work \u2014 the healing, the forgiveness, the boundaries, the self-rediscovery \u2014 that transformed her.<\/p>\n

Rooted & Rising<\/em> is her debut book \u2014 a powerful blend of personal narrative, therapeutic insight, and heart-centered guidance. It is a testimony to the fact that where you come from does not limit where you are destined to go.<\/p>\n

Detra wrote this book to give voice to those who had to be strong before they were ready, who felt overlooked in their own families, and who are ready to heal, rise, and break generational patterns with grace and power.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
