Throughout my life I've had so many ups and downs with struggles because limited abilities, traumatic events, and self worth. Some struggles and traumatic things are child abuse and neglect, grew up in foster care when I was younger than back with biological parents, bullying, rape, incest, sexual assault and harassment in the workplace, addiction, teenage mom, divorced, homeless 4 times, natural disaster (tornado), discrimination, 2 fire(s), loss of 2 babies, suicide attempt(s), domestic violence w/gun violence, became disabled in my 20s, amongst other things that still break my heart and can make for a day to not always be so great, however, I keep trying no matter what. I have come to enjoy photography more and more as a creative way to express myself while also hoping to continue healing and inspiring others to also find their Courage and Strength to make it through their struggles and healing. I hope I can continue with this for a very long time as it brings me some comfort and peacefulness knowing that I am learning, growing, and living myself while also helping others along my journey in life. Peace and Love {~Survivor~}
