Take a walk with me down memory lane.

I have been there, and I have done that.

BUT I HAVE LEARNED THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO GROW THROUGH.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, my story began in a city known for its resilience and spirit. My early years were shaped by a unique blend of experiences, starting with the adoption of my father, a man who, though not always the father I envisioned, became the father I needed. Growing up, I didn't know my biological father, but through the years, I came to understand that the dad I was gifted with was not just a chance occurrence but a crucial part of my journey.

My teenage and early adult years were marred by profound challenges. I survived sexual assault, a harrowing experience that left deep scars but also ignited a fierce determination within me. My path through this darkness became a beacon for others; I shared my story openly to offer solace and support to women who had endured similar trials. My vulnerability became a bridge, connecting me with those who needed to hear that they were not alone.

At 28, my life took another turn when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This diagnosis led me through a turbulent period marked by four hospitalizations due to suicidal ideations. Each hospitalization was a battle, but it was also a testament to my resilience and my unyielding will to overcome.

The passing of my father at 59 was a sudden and tragic loss that shook me to my core. His unexpected departure left a void that was both profound and painful, yet his memory became a source of strength and inspiration. His legacy lives on in my commitment to turn pain into purpose.

Throughout these trials, I have emerged as a strong, resilient woman. Every experience has shaped me, molded my spirit, and ignited a deep desire to help others. My journey through adversity has taught me that our scars do not define us but rather refine us, making us capable of profound empathy and strength.

Today, I share my story not just as a tale of survival but as a testament to the power of resilience and hope. I believe that by opening up about my experiences, I can inspire others to find their own strength, navigate their own challenges, and believe in their own capacity for greatness. My life’s journey is a testament to the fact that even through the darkest times, we can find light and purpose, and that our struggles can ultimately lead us to our most profound impact.
