Promoted While Broken

Promoted While Broken: But Yes, That Changed Everything is the raw, unfiltered testimony of Dr. Mickke D.-a woman who battled addiction, grief, domestic abuse, and spiritual desolation... and lived to tell the story with power, grace, and victory.

Born into trauma and trapped by the grip of crack cocaine, Dr. Mickke became a mother while still enslaved to addiction. Her youngest child was born with no teeth and open sores on his face-a visible cry from the womb that something had to change. But it wasn't just the drugs. It was the shame. The broken promises. The spiritual numbness. The lies she told herself to survive.

In these pages, she doesn't hold back.

She tells the truth-the ugly, the painful, the miraculous.

She takes you into the darkest nights of addiction, including the night she hit five parked cars while high... and no one arrested her. She shares how her son-nicknamed Big Papa-became her daily reminder to stay clean. And she reveals the moment she cried out to God while holding crack cocaine in her hand, asking Him to save her in the middle of her mess.

And God did.

Not after she cleaned up.

Not after she "got it together."

Right there. In the addiction. In the tears. In the brokenness.

This is not a how-to book. This is a how-I-made-it book.

This story is a prophetic message of hope to every addict, every grieving parent, every woman recovering from trauma, and every loved one praying for someone to change. It reminds us that:

• You can be called and still be addicted.
• You can be anointed and still be wounded.
• You can be broken... and still be promoted.

If you've ever felt like there's no way out-this book is your roadmap.

If you've ever lost a child-this book will help you breathe again.

If you're still praying for the addict you love-this book will give you hope.

And if you've ever asked, "Can God still use me?" the answer is not only yes... it's yes, and He will do it right where you are.
