I grew up in a normal middle class family with both parents. At a very young age my confidence and self esteem was challenged. Growing up I always made sure that everyone saw this beautiful confident girl on the outside but inside I was a mess. After living 2 separate lives for years I finally broke and couldn't control myself. The lies, the secrets, the pain, the hate is what I became. Just when I decided to give up God came and saved me and showed me a way out. Through that way out god showed me that my painful and destructive past was my purpose. My mission is to fulfill my purpose and help young women avoid/get through the road I took. I take no credit for any of this, God gets all the glory.
