I’m Stacey Books, a proud Chief Program Officer at Persevere and one of this year’s Remarkable Women honorees. I’m also a passionate advocate for first chances, second chances, and the power of faith, grace, and personal growth.
My journey has been anything but easy. From incarceration and personal loss to rebuilding my life and leading national workforce development initiatives, every hard chapter has shaped who I am today and strengthened my belief that transformation is possible when compassion meets opportunity.
Through this space, I hope to share stories, insights, and resources that encourage you wherever you are in your journey. Whether you’re here for faith-based reflections, self-help inspiration, or a deeper look at our holistic approach at Persevere to empower justice-impacted individuals through tech training and career support, you are welcome here.
This is a space for redemption, for resilience, for rising again.Thank you for being here. Let’s walk this path of purpose, healing, and impact together.
With gratitude,
Stacey 💜
