I had to go through hardships, personal and work-related challenges, rejection, disappointments, pain and I endured a lot of struggles in life to be a strong, empowered and knowledgeable woman.

I have been gang raped, physically, verbally and emotionally abused. I was demoted, became broke, I had my car repossessed at work, I grieved the loss of my loved ones and I was in and out of hospital due to stress and depression.
