The book, When Queens Rise isn’t your normal everyday book, but is transformational and dipped in grace. Choyce Simmons and nine other women from around the world, answered the call to share their stories with transparency and candor unapologetically. Each woman brings to light her journey of what it looked like to have setbacks and challenges but bounce back and rise as a chosen daughter of the King.
Ms. Simmons's chapter in When Queens Rise, titled: From Grief, Through Pain, To Purpose speaks of her loss, heartbreak, and trumpets through it all. She believes “you must hurt, to heal,” and in her chapter shares how the pain affected her mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually as she weathered the labor pains of grief, which finally led to her birthing her purpose. Along the way, Choyce learned that to survive the pain, it was not just about moving past or forward, but it was necessary to travel through the grief, feeling everything it awakened and revealed in her, to gain clarity of God’s purpose and plan for her life.
“You grieve because you love. The harder you love, the harder you’ll grieve,” says Choyce. She believes it took the pain she endured when suddenly losing her mom and the struggles of navigating the treacherous roads of special education to see God’s purpose in her today and His plan for who He created her to become.
