Welcome to the Phoenix Brunch

Thank you for being part of this deeply meaningful moment. I invite you to join me for a morning dedicated to celebrating resilience, healing, faith, courage, leadership, and new beginnings.

This is more than a book launch—it is an opportunity to connect with physicians, professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, readers, and community members who believe in overcoming adversity and living with purpose. Whether you are joining us in person in Dallas or via our global livestream, your presence makes this celebration complete.

"You are not broken. Give yourself permission to evolve."

— Dr. Bertina M. Hooks

From Fire to Freedom

From Fire to Freedom is an intimate and deeply reflective memoir about surviving pressure, rebuilding identity, and finding freedom after adversity.

It is a journey of perseverance, healing, renewal, and hope. Through stories shaped by medicine, motherhood, personal loss, professional expectations, burnout, reinvention, and resilience, Dr. Bertina Hooks shares the realities that often exist beneath outward success.

At its heart, this is a story about becoming—not despite life's fires, but because of them.
