Where Extraordinary Leaders Are Forged

Dr. Annette Jimenez is a native East Harlem New Yorker, a wife, and a mother of two sons, all of whom she considers her biggest cheerleaders. She is also a Reverend Bishop and has been a Christian for over thirty years.

Dr. Jimenez is the sole proprietor of her business, Rising From The Ashes Int., which encompasses several entities, including the Center for New Beginnings, My Diva Lifestyle Int, and Psdsm Int. Her services cater to the community. Aside from being an entrepreneur in the East Harlem community, she is also a political consultant and a psychiatrist who practices as a master life coach. She holds two PhDs in psychology and psychiatry, along with four honorary PhDs. She is licensed and certified in 59 mental health fields and 189 areas of labor.

Her community involvement extends to being CP NYPD certified in New York City and an official FEMA chaplain. She has received citations and proclamations at every level of government and 2 lifetime medals of service from Presidents Obama and Biden.

Dr. Jimenez has dedicated her life to education and public service, driven by a love for helping people. Despite her numerous accolades, she strives to remain humble, attributing this to her faith. Having grown up without guidance or support, her primary goal is to empower others, ensuring they never feel the despair she once experienced.

Her hobbies include collecting items featuring butterflies, and phoenixes. Community work and participation in public service events are her priorities. She readily volunteers for projects she can sponsor and makes monetary donations without hesitation.

Dr. Jimenez is a rare heart cancer survivor. In 2016, she was partially paralyzed for two and a half years due to the Zika virus, which she contracted in the Bahamas while competing in a pageant. Although she won the crown, she lost her mobility, but fully credits God with her recovery.

She expresses eagerness to collaborate with trailblazers and thanks others for allowing her into their lives and community, welcoming them into hers.

Many Blessings,
Dr. Annette Jiménez
