TOGETHER

WE CAN STOP THE CYCLE OF ABUSE

Join The Movement

“I have a dream . . .”

— Martin Luther King Jr.

Like Dr. King, I have an incredible dream. My mission is to stop the cycle of abuse in our society. I realize this is an enormous undertaking. But I am encouraged when I think of Dr. King, imagining his resolve when he led the Civil Rights Movement and delivered a speech in 1963 that changed history.

Each one of us can dare to dream, and I choose to dream of a society that is free from abuse. To attain this, we need to step up and face the reality of abuse within our society, communities, and even within our own families. Burying our heads in the sand or sweeping abuse under the carpet isn’t the answer.

It’s time to speak up and find our voices on behalf of every survivor. Together we can change the world through education, empowerment, hope, and most of all healing. As survivors find empowerment and heal the pain of past trauma, we can expect positive changes. We can witness the diminishment of abuse.

I’m asking you to join my cause so together we can #stopthecycleofabuse. Let’s tell the world that abusive behaviors are unacceptable, and it is time for change.

I am an inspirational speaker, life coach, and the author of Finding Your Voice. I survived 24 years of abuse that included emotional, physical, and sexual abuse as a child and young adult.

My commitment to self-improvement led me to become a passionate abuse advocate. I chose to become an educated survivor, eliminate victim mentality, and heal my past trauma. My goal is to share that same determination, empowerment, and knowledge with other survivors.

I encourage and lead survivors toward a path of recovery while helping them strive for their best life. My wish is for others to live a life free of abuse while embracing more happiness.

One Survivor's Struggles

November 19, 2020

The truth is survivors struggle with holidays for many reasons. For me holidays were extremely stressful and depressing most of my life. For as long as I can remember, I would feel physically sick most holidays. My childhood pain and trauma would surface during the holiday season.

It’s our job to protect, nurture, and guide our children while teaching them about healthy relationships.

4 Major Types of Abusive Behavior

September 8, 2020

How do we, as a society, stop the cycle of abuse?

I realize this is a huge undertaking, and some may think this is an impossible feat.

Some thought Dr. King’s dream was impossible, but he started a movement that has changed our society. I, too, have a dream, and that dream is a society absent of abuse. In 50 years, we should look back on this decade to recognize the beginning of a movement and the end to an era of abuse.

Author of Finding Your Voice

August 17, 2020

As a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a writer “when I grew up.” The problem was, I couldn’t read or write. I realized at a young age that I didn’t learn like everyone else. I felt stupid, different, and disconnected from others. I struggled to read, write, and spell for the entirety of my childhood.

I was in seventh grade when my mother had my brother and I tested for a learning disability. At age 12, we discovered we both had dyslexia. I could barely read on a third-grade level, and I couldn’t even spell on a first-grade level. Along with the news that my brother and I had dyslexia, they also told her it was highly likely that neither of us would graduate high school. Looking back, it was a blessing that my mother never told us.

Healing and happiness are possible after surviving abuse; we just need to know what to do to obtain them. Hence, the most difficult question any survivor faces is, What next?

As an almost destitute young divorced mother of two, I faced this overwhelming question just like many of you.

Abuse During the Pandemic

What You Need to Know and Do?

Covid-19 has changed everyone’s lives—especially those who find themselves living in an abusive situation. On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. That statistic could be on the increase since this pandemic has elevated the fear of the unknown and generated extraordinary stress and anxiety within families, households, and relationships.

Perception

Perception is a remarkable ability. Perception can generate hope and contentment, or it can cultivate fear and unease. The difference is how you see your current situation.
