Invincible Summer: A 30-Day Reflectional on the Power of Kindness - Paperback

Perry, Sherice: - "After fast-paced years working in health care policy in the Obama administration, it was only when Sherice Perry slowed down that she finally achieved an elusive goal: renewal and rediscovery. For Sherice, working at the Department of Health and Human Services on health care wasn't just a dream job - it was a journey of a lifetime. Her own lupus diagnosis underscored just how much millions of Americans depended on affordable, reliable care, especially the low-income families, women and communities of color for whom she had spent over a decade as an advocate.By summer 2017, Sherice arrived at a realization dramatically different from most Washingtonians in a hurry: She needed to hit pause for the sake of her own health - physically, mentally and spiritually. Over the summer months, journaling became Sherice's gateway to self-reflection. Putting pen to paper restored her confidence in herself and helped her regain a vision for her future. In this 30-day reflectional, Sherice lays out the path she took on this journey of rediscovery in the hopes that others can navigate their own way forward.A native New Yorker and graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Sherice holds a master's degree in public policy from Georgetown University and studied at Oxford University. Today, she is serving in the Biden-Harris administration focusing on equity in the COVID-19 pandemic response. Recognizing the influence youth sports has on her life, Sherice also loves delving into projects that explore the power of sport to change individuals, communities and society."
