Breaking Barriers, Building Faith, and Defining Success on Her Own Terms
From a small town in eastern North Carolina to the top of the television advertising industry, Evelyn Smith Booker’s A Winner in Spite Of is a powerful testament to perseverance, faith, and purpose. In this inspiring memoir, Booker invites readers to witness the remarkable journey of a strong Black woman who defied odds, shattered barriers, and paved the way for others to rise.
About the Book
A Winner in Spite Of gives readers a glimpse into the heart and mind of a woman whose unwavering determination and faith transformed challenges into triumphs. From integrating her local high school and graduating as the unofficial valedictorian of her class, to earning a seat at the table of a #1 television station, Booker’s story embodies courage and resilience.
The book weaves together personal stories, professional experiences, and spiritual reflections, offering both practical wisdom and heartfelt motivation. Readers will find themselves engaged in what feels like a warm, wide-ranging conversation with a trusted friend—one that celebrates hard work, faith, and the belief that God belongs at the center of everything.
A Message of Hope and Empowerment
Booker shares her philosophy on success through ten key “ingredients” for achievement and a heartfelt chapter titled Paying It Forward, where five of her mentees share letters about how her guidance shaped their lives. Through these stories, readers are reminded that their current situation does not dictate their ultimate destination.
“I wanted to let people know that it doesn’t matter where you’re born or where you come from,” Booker explains. “You decide what your destination will be. If you strive and reach for the stars, then success is yours.”
