Speaking topics

  • Inspiring listeners through her personal testimony of rising above the negative outcomes of childhood physical and sexual abuse, persevering through years in the foster care system and eventual homelessness as a teen in New York, miraculously escaping exploitation, and living through the trauma of multiple rapes that eventually resulted in teen pregnancy and, later, adoption.
