description
his memoir, Jodi Fernandez takes you with her on her journey through the darkness that enveloped the better part of her childhood beginning in Edenwald projects at the height of the Crack epidemic to the power of her infinite light that she finds through the elevators she "catches" along the way. As Fernandez chronicles her experiences, she brings the reader along in her transformation from trauma to triumph. A child of Hip-Hop, each one of her chapters is thematically arranged and prefaced with pithy Hip-Hop lyrics. Fernandez further punctuates her memoir with powerful aphorisms and psychoanalytical theory showcasing the depth and the breadth of her education and writing abilities.

Through her memoir, Fernandez shares what's she learned about the importance of accessing the power we all have within to rise above the circumstances set by our birth to create the life that surpasses our wildest dreams. With unerring honesty and precise wit, Fernandez also offers Elevators as her testimony about the power of education as a tool for self-empowerment, character-development and financial independence. As an educator with degrees in Communications, English and Education, Elevators is Jodi Fernandez's intensely personal reckoning of a woman with passion and perseverance who has defied society's expectations and whose story will inspire you to do the same.
