My Story
I am best known for overcoming a history of abuse and exploitation, a story I share in my memoir, Scars and Stilettos, and for founding Treasures (2003), a faith-based, survivor-led outreach and support group to women in the sex industry and survivors of sex trafficking.
God is using my story to bring hope to others and for that I am thankful!
I have also lived a lot of life since I left that life.
From a history of abuse and exploitation to tragic loss and divorce, I have had my fair share of obstacles in life. The heartbreak of an affair and the tailspin of co-dependency are things I know well. The lonely grief of losing babies before they took their first breath has gripped my heart far too many times. I also know the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of tenacity, and the power of God to restore a life and redeem a dream.
I started this blog so that I can write about some of these things and encourage you that you are not alone and there is a place for your pain. Your past does not have to determine your future. More than survive, you can overcome and live the rich, beautiful life you have dared to dream of. The road to freedom and healing isn’t always easy, but it is worth it. YOU are worth it!
