"I realized if I could live through all that, then I most certainly could live on! I survived my own survival! That was my first step toward saying 'I AM MORE!'" The second installment in the I AM MORE! series, this book tells a story of turbulence and triumph. In the moments after a traumatic event, one is often left feeling as if living on, living past it, is impossible - as if survival is impossible. Surviving Survival allows the reader a glimpse into the life of a woman who reached that very moment several times over. One day she had an awakening - she already survived! She already lived the worst of it. Now, she had to survive survival. She had to learn how to live past the pain. This book deals intimately with the emotions attached to sexual assault, domestic violence, parenting a child with a diagnosed mental illness, single parenting, race, suicide, and of course survival. Her awakening combined with insight from other experts will inspire you on your own journey of surviving survival. This is a story that explores life beyond physical survival but to a place of mental and emotional survival. Dr. Tonisha M. Pinckney is transparent, real, raw in how she confronts and presents her emotions.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Tonisha M. Pinckney, a native of Newark, NJ, is dedicated to educating and advocating for others. With a wide range of expertise, supported by 16 years of combined experience, Dr. Pinckney developed a series of individual and community tools. Dr. Pinckney is a Criminal Justice and Criminology expert, Forensic Criminologist, and Forensic Accountant. She is an outspoken author, advocate, and lecturer on issues of racial, socioeconomic, and gender disparities. Dr. Pinckney has a special passion for helping adult and child victims and offenders of sexual assault and domestic violence. Fueled by her own experiences, she authored two books discussing domestic violence, sexual assault, depression and suicide, and parenting - I AM MORE - The Journey (2009) and I AM MORE: Surviving Survival (2013). Dr. Pinckney is the founder of a new not-for-profit organization, I AM MORE Institute for Excellence and Social Responsibility. Recognizing the importance of saying, "I AM MORE!" Dr. Pinckney registered it as a trademark. Combining her passions for social change, her dissertation, Children present on the scene upon police arrival at an intimate partner violence incident: Race, police action, and officer-initiated social support, examined whether the needs of children exposed to IPV and the race of a couple factor into an officer's decisions as to whether to take law enforcement action (arrest or issue a citation) and initiate social support for the exposed child and victim-partner. "I AM MORE - the Journey" was born from the adversities Dr. Toni faced throughout her life. In order for her to survive life's hardships and pains, she had to learn that she was not limited to being a product of her past. In fact, she was more. She was a facilitator of her future. Dr. Toni uses her life lessons to inspire men, women, and children to become 'powerfully productive" not "allow[ing] their reasons to fail to become their excuses for failure - excellence NOT excuse!". Dr. Toni, a survivor of multiple rapes, years of domestic violence, and emotional abuse says, "I want to inspire inner strength and introduce spiritual empowerment in the lives of those with broken hearts and spirits". "There is nothing stopping you from becoming "more" except the thought that you are "less". You are "more". So allow the words to echo in
