Dr. Tekemia Dorsey’s 104th Book Transforms Pain into Purpose, and Poverty into a Global Movement for Change

Release Date: October 19, 2025

Baltimore, MD — In a world where poverty continues to suffocate potential and silence innovation, Dr. Tekemia Dorsey dares to rewrite the story. On October 19, 2025, the global visionary, educator, and CEO will release her 104th book, From Poverty to Prosperity: A CEO’s Guide for Fighting Poverty Through Business, Leadership, and Innovation — a game-changing manifesto that’s more than a book… It's a movement.

A New Blueprint for Leadership and Humanity

From Poverty to Prosperity is not just another leadership manual — it’s a revolution in mindset. Dr. Dorsey invites readers to confront poverty not as a statistic, but as a systemic call to leadership. She challenges CEOs, policymakers, and educators to stop managing the problem — and instead, build innovative ecosystems that eradicate it.

Through her deeply personal insight and decades of experience, Dr. Dorsey introduces the DTD Leadership Playbook, anchored in four unshakable pillars: Courage, Clarity, Collaboration, and Accountability. It’s a roadmap to move leaders from vision to action, and from action to generational impact.

“Poverty is not an endpoint — it’s a starting line,” says Dr. Dorsey. “Prosperity begins when we empower people with knowledge, opportunity, and the courage to innovate.”

From Poverty to Prosperity is not a book — it’s a movement. A clarion call for leaders who are ready to turn empathy into enterprise, and vision into victory.

Dr. Dorsey’s Breaking the Cycle of Poverty Series

This release marks the next evolution of Dr. Dorsey’s monumental 18-book series, Breaking the Cycle of Poverty: Solutions for a Better Tomorrow. Each installment unveils real-world pathways to equity and empowerment, merging business, education, leadership, innovation, and sports as vehicles for transformation.

Across 18 powerful works, Dr. Dorsey builds a legacy of solutions — each one challenging global leaders to dismantle the systems that sustain poverty and design the structures that sustain progress.

Advance Praise

“Poverty is not a ‘they’ problem — it’s very much a ‘we’ problem. When anybody is dealing with poverty, it pulls down entire communities. Dr. Dorsey’s book is both a blueprint and a call to action, giving leaders the practical tools we need to make a real difference.” — Delegate Kim Ross

A Brilliant Visual Collaboration

Every movement needs a symbol — and the book’s bold visual identity is just that. The cover, a striking representation of transformation and triumph, was designed by Beloved Joshua Simons, a 17-year-old Howard Thurman Honors Scholar and senior at Morehouse College.

A proud son of Baltimore, Beloved Joshua’s artistry bridges generational vision with youthful genius. His design radiates hope and power — capturing the essence of From Poverty to Prosperity: rising from struggle into significance.

“Designing this cover was more than an art project — it was a purpose project,” says Simons. “Dr. Dorsey’s words pushed me to imagine what change looks like — not someday, but right now.”

About the Visionary Behind the Words

Dr. Tekemia Dorsey, a proud Baltimore native, is a renowned author, CEO, sports leader, and transformational strategist whose influence spans continents and communities. With 103 published works behind her, she stands as a voice of power, resilience, and purpose.

As President of the Randallstown NAACP Branch #7032-B and CEO of DTD Enterprises, LLC, Dr. Dorsey builds bridges between leadership, innovation, and impact — empowering others to create the change they wish to see.

Her work in business, education, and sports leadership continues to redefine how the world understands influence and legacy. For Dr. Dorsey, prosperity isn’t measured by wealth, but by how many people no longer need to be saved.

Why This Book Matters Now

At a time when economic divides are deepening and communities are crying out for sustainable solutions, From Poverty to Prosperity arrives as both a mirror and a map. It reflects where we are — and guides us to where we must go.

Dr. Dorsey’s message is clear: We don’t fight poverty by pitying it — we fight it by leading through it. This book, this blueprint, this movement is designed to ignite transformation from the inside out — in homes, schools, boardrooms, and nations.

From Poverty to Prosperity is not a book — it’s a movement to transform systems, empower communities, and inspire a new generation of leaders to make prosperity possible for all.
