why am i doing this…
Between May 12 2012 and December 05 2014 I have had 6 hospital admissions due to physical, mental and emotional trauma. I was no longer safe at home on my home because I was suicidal. I hit rock bottom, nothing and no one could save me but 24 hour supervised care in case I finished me off.
I was a abandoned, spent time in children homes, emergence accommodation, a looooooong history of domestic, family and child abuse. In 1996 I was homeless Did my time on the streets sleeping under cardboard boxes.
I have no family but many friends and support.
Today November 2, 2015, I stand on my feet, I continue to breath, I completed my Masters in Business in 2008, I worked for some big companies in a managerial roles, I run a GOPT business, in the start up phase of Marzar ventures (an organization supporting DV survivors) a single mother, and the a community based committee president
I made it… I am ok!
I don’t have much I am fearless, independent, control my life and think for myself.
What I am saying is … If I can make it so can YOU.
WHAT AM I DOING ?
Building community awareness about DV, paying respect to survivors
Helping organisations to support/ accomedate DV survivors
Teaching women to feel fearless, have confidence in taking back the control of their life.
WHY I AM DOING THIS
I was ashamed and embarrassed by my past. I felt not accepted because of what I lived in.
Organisations like Launch housing homed me. The workers worked hard to help me.
