ORLANDO, Fla., March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Throughout history, women have defied expectations, shattered barriers, and rewritten the rules. Dr. Trisha Bailey's journey is no exception. As the wealthiest Jamaican-born woman, a self-made billionaire, and a trailblazing philanthropist, her story—told in her bestselling memoir, Unbroken—is a powerful reminder of what women can achieve when resilience meets purpose.
Women's History Month is a time to celebrate those who rise above challenges, and Dr. Bailey's life is the embodiment of perseverance. Unbroken details her extraordinary ascent from adversity to leading 16 companies, employing over 5,000 people, and generating hundreds of millions in revenue. Through deeply personal reflections, she shares hard-won lessons in business, leadership, and wealth-building—lessons that are particularly vital for women striving to break through glass ceilings.
"I refused to let my circumstances define me," says Dr. Bailey. "I decided that no matter how many times life knocked me down, I would stand up stronger, wiser, and more determined than before."
Her story has touched thousands, earning her accolades such as JP Morgan Chase's Woman of the Year and recognition as the #1 Minority Provider in the Nation. She is also the first Black individual and only woman to have a building named in her honor at the University of Connecticut, where she now serves as a trustee on the Board and Foundation Board (2024). She is the only person of color to be inducted into the University of Connecticut's Business Hall of Fame and holds four honorary doctorate degrees. Dr. Bailey continues to redefine what's possible for women in business.
Beyond the boardroom, her philanthropic work speaks to her commitment to empowering the next generation. Through record-breaking donations to UConn and scholarship programs, she ensures that more young women and men have access to the education and opportunities they deserve.
As Women's History Month honors the past, Unbroken is shaping the future—one woman's story at a time. It's an essential read for aspiring entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone ready to embrace their own journey of strength and success.
