I have always been told that I'm a great storyteller and that the words I craft are even better. So, I finally decided to share both with the world. I write not only to tell a story, but to show you how these events have made me into the woman I am today. To ensure that, as a writer, my words remain not only strong, but authentic as well. Through storytelling, my ultimate goal is to positively impact lives, using the lessons I have been exposed to and learned from, hopefully educating and helping other through their battles.
