Promoted While Broken: Yes, That Changed Everything

Promoted While Broken: The Yes That Changed Everything is the raw, redemptive journey of Dr. Mickke D. Williams—known today as a powerful minister, mother of eight, and "financial doctor"—but once a broken woman battling crack addiction, abuse, shame, and profound loss. In this compelling memoir-meets-ministry, Dr. Mickke D. reveals the unfiltered truth about her life in the trenches: from being high on crack cocaine while pleading with God not to let it kill her, to burying her beloved son Big Papa, who was born addicted and became her reminder of both her mistakes and her motivation. But this isn't a story that ends in tragedy. It's a testimony of transformation. Through powerful storytelling, spiritual insight, and real-life warfare, Dr. Mickke D. invites readers into the hallway floor moments—the places where deliverance doesn't wait for perfection, but breaks chains in the middle of the mess. She recounts the lies addicts tell themselves, the spiritual triggers that keep people bound, and how she encountered God not in a church pew, but in the darkest hours of her addiction. What changed everything? One word: Yes. Yes to God. Yes to healing. Yes to purpose. That yes led her from crack houses to pulpits, from shame to strategy, from grief to grace. Now, as a voice to the voiceless and a lifeline to women who feel forgotten, Dr. Mickke D. is proof that you can be promoted while still broken—and that God specializes in using broken vessels to pour out healing oil. Whether you're recovering from addiction, grieving a loss, rebuilding your life, or simply seeking hope in a hopeless place, Promoted While Broken will meet you where you are and carry you into the arms of a God who never left. Inside this book, you'll find: Raw and redemptive stories from the author's past, including drug use, trauma, and family tragedy The pivotal moment that changed her life forever A tribute to her late son, Big Papa, and his lasting impact Spiritual truths about healing, deliverance, and identity Encouragement for anyone who feels too far gone to be used by God Proof that you don't have to be fixed to be called—just willing If you've ever felt forgotten, unloved, or too broken to be restored, this book is for you.
