"An inspirational story of hope, faith, and overcoming."

Sharon "Shay" Jordan was an ambitious, highly successful member of the United States Navy, working her way from recruit to Chief Warrant Officer, and serving on ships that sailed all over the world. With a lengthy list of accomplishments and commendations, she was routinely reviewed by her superiors with words like "hard charging," "superb," "superstar," and "a leader against whom others can be measured."

The only problem was that Shay never believed any of it. Or, at least never thought of herself that way. She was just a Black girl from a blue-collar section of Louisville, Kentucky, an average student at best, a kid who even had an arrest record. And she struggled. Unknown to her at the time, during her two-decade career in the service, Shay suffered from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, making her accomplishments even more remarkable.

Mustang: Sharing My Story of ADHD, Imposter Syndrome, and Resilience is the powerful story of a woman who overcame not only a crippling mental condition, but severe doubts about herself. It''s an inspirational story of hope and faith, and with practical guidance for anyone who might be struggling with ADHD. More than anything, Mustang is a story about overcoming negative thinking, and the power of being kind to yourself.
