Unfortunately, as an adolescent she witnessed and became a victim of physical, emotional and mental abuse in her home. During her span of abuse from the age of ten into a young adult, depression began to take root in her life with thoughts and attempt of suicide as a teenager, which lead to developing a negative self-image about herself. In overcoming the adversity of abuse and depression it wasn’t until she was about 21 years old, that she understood that letting go and moving forward was to learn forgiveness. The truth in accepting and acknowledging the need for forgiveness opened her heart to being optimistic about life and develop a positive mindset. As an adult, there are still times were depression may arise, but she reminds herself that she has accomplished great achievements and overcame so many obstacles. Her purpose is to reach others who are battling mental health illnesses in efforts to shift their mindset from being a victim to a victor. She lives her life by the quote, “ I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel,” by Maya Angelou.
