Standing Eight Sample Chapter

Standing Eight Count is the story of Syn — a woman who isn’t fighting in a ring, but fighting through life itself. The blows come from every direction: grief that won’t loosen its grip, a career that demands more than it gives, love that cuts deeply, and a faith she’s trying to hold onto.

Syn is exhausted. Syn is overwhelmed. Syn is every Black woman who has ever whispered, “It’s too much"

This book is a tribute to the trials we don’t talk about enough — the invisible battles fought in bedrooms, break rooms, bathrooms, and boardrooms. It’s the story of a woman collecting scars but refusing to surrender her spirit.

If you’ve ever carried the weight of the world and kept walking anyway, Standing Eight Count was written for you.
