As a daughter, I can and will always choose to forgive.
As a mother, I often struggle to understand.
As a human I am desperate for change.

I never asked to be a survivor of childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect. I didn’t want to be a homeless youth or a “pull up those bootstraps girl”. I survived and have chosen to use my own experience to help as many children and families as I can along the journey.

All of the work I have put in over the years has been for a greater purpose. Truthfully, the next chapter of my story is one that scares me but I will March on. I will continue to move forward. It’s my turn to lead a way towards hope.

Ready or not. Now. is. the. time. Here am I.
