My hope is to inspire others to know, trust, and believe in themselves through anything. If I can survive 15 years of sex trafficking and trauma, I believe anyone else can survive anything they set pure, doubtless intentions to overcoming. My scars were my shame for so many years and then the lens changed; it was removed. And as each lens was removed, the answers became clearer. It wasn't easy but it was worth it, even when I couldn't find it in myself to verbally admit it before. The hardest skill I find people mention is to know a feeling or to feel knowledge. People have to deal and live with themselves most often and the longest. Self sustainment is a key element in taking care of ourselves for others and ourselves.
