2025 Book Release
FROM THE GROUND UP, BY CHRISTY JAYNES
What if changing history doesn’t start in Washington, but on your block?
From The Ground Up isn’t just a call to action, it’s a rallying cry for women who feel that inner nudge to lead, even if they’ve never considered politics before. It’s for the woman who’s tired of decisions being made without her voice, who sees gaps in leadership close to home, and who’s ready to discover just how much influence she truly holds.
This book will shift how you think about power. It will show you that making an impact doesn’t require a title, a donor list, or a perfect resume. It starts with the courage to ask, Why not me?
Packed with real-world insight, tools to get you started, and stories that spark your own, From The Ground Up helps you move from frustration to action, from apathy to agency, and into the role you were meant to play in shaping your community’s future.
