I am a victim of rape by someone I thought I could trust, a law enforcement officer. I experienced many injustices and have been through every legal and civil avenue to protect myself and other women from harm. I spent a long time trying to hide and be ashamed of what happened to me. Society told me that I was the one that should be shamed, so I turned my anger inward. I have seen the depths of self-hatred and surrounded myself with negativity. I lost who I was completely and let "him" define my happiness. BUT NOT ANYMORE!  I have come a long way and now realize that I did nothing wrong and the shame is with the perpetrator, not me. I have reclaimed my life and focused my energy on overcoming something I did not think was possible.

 

Now,I am a public speaker, licensed mental health therapist, blogger, advocate, and self-love guru. I cherish every day and put the blame where it rightfully belongs.

No matter what you are facing, we can overcome it together <3

My vision is to:

Help survivors gain their voice back and LOVE themselves!

Be a platform to find advice and guidance through the traumatic experience

Educate others on the effects of rape and how to best help survivors

Share my successes and challenges as I go through this journey

Celebrate this amazing life and encourage others to do the same

Raise awareness on issues important to survivors and their rights

Remind every survivor that they are NOT ALONE <3
