Did you know that 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year? Not to mention, that most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police. Did you know that historically, females have been most often victimized by someone they knew? Well I have committed to do my part in raising awareness and empowering women to feel good about themselves and reclaim their lives even if they have found themselves the object of someones issue with POWER & CONTROL.
I am doing my part in two ways, first, by telling my story of overcoming years of being victimized and living through child abuse as well as being the punching bag to a former boyfriend. The story in my opinion is not what I went through but the story is how I turned it all around to be productive and positive as well as prosperous. Yes, I am speaking of my new book release , Breaking Invisible Chains, Gaining the Confidence to Redesign Your Life. It is available by going to www.spajamaworks.com/bic.htm
The second way that I am empowering women and raising awareness is by attending The Vagina Monologues in support of the V-Day season. Eve Ensler started a movement to help women understand their worth by explaining the power of the Vagina! I love it – being free to talk about The Vagina. Well I am on my way to DC with Producer Yetta Young and her black celebrity cast to witness the production of The Vagina Monologues. For more information about attending one of these productions please go to www.inlovewetrusttour.com
I want you to use this blog to tell your story but don’t just tell what you went through…tell how you got through because you never know who needs to hear your battle cry – your personal plan of victory! I know you have one so please share with us here we need to hear from you.
Until next time,
Keep living vivaciously,
