A Memoir That Will Outlive This Moment
Gary Jenkins’s story is not polished or easy. It is real, human, and necessary. From childhood adversity to leading the largest social services agency in the nation, his journey reflects resilience, responsibility, and purpose. This memoir is an anthem for anyone who has ever been underestimated, unseen, or stretched beyond their limits: a roadmap for rising again and again.
What Makes This Book a Mic-Drop?
This book defies familiar narratives. It does not sanitize, defend, or hide behind political polish. Instead, it reveals, teaches, elevates, and transforms. Never Give Up shows what it truly means to get back up every time life demands that you stay down.
This Memoir Is Bigger Than Gary Jenkins
This is a story about resilience in adversity, dignity under pressure, courage in fear, and leadership in crisis. It honors every person who wakes up and chooses to try again. It reflects the reality of frontline work, public service, and leadership in challenging times.

A Message to Carry Forward
Some books inspire; some challenge; some heal; but very few ignite something in the reader. This is one of them.
Today, we don’t just celebrate a book. We celebrate a man whose story proves one truth: Greatness belongs not to the perfect, but to the persistent.
Congratulations, Gary Jenkins. Congratulations, SWEET Institute Publishing, and congratulations to every reader who will be transformed.
