Survived a childhood of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse at the hands of my father and my uncles and broke the cycle
I spoke out when I caught my father in an affair with another woman which lead to my parents divorcing and lived to tell about it
I left my first marriage after being held at knife point and chose the lives of my children over my need to have them with me
I started over with zero and built a life for myself
I opened my brick n mortar cafe with zero financial backing or bank roll, just the strong desire to be my own person, prove to myself that I could actually create something amazing
Started over with nothing AGAIN after pandemic forced me to close my cafe-everything in my life was tied to the income coming from my cafe
I have contributed to the writing of two international best selling anthologies
I have birthed 5 tiny humans who are grown and helped raise two step-children who are all successful, amazing people in service-related fields
I have done the inner work to heal my marriage and my hubby and I have remarried after being apart for 1-1/2 years (divorced after 21 years of marriage)
I have/am building my Queen By Design Business to support other women
