Watch Full Story

I felt used like I didn’t own my body and that it was for others to use as they wished. Growing up, I experienced abuse towards me and others close to me. In an effort to survive, I suppressed the memories along with my emotions. Safe in our new country, I tried to focus on building a new life, but I ended up in an abusive marriage twice, where my childhood and my lack of self-worth came back to haunt me. I struggled to see any hope or future for myself.

See how I managed to break out of my abusive marriage and start a new life for me and my kids. This time I turned my focus inwards and started facing my past to move forward. Learn how I reached out for help to manage my PTSD and how a work inclusion company supported me to transform my experiences into something useful. They helped me to maneuver the system to get the support I was entitled to, which allowed me the space I needed to heal. Today I use my experiences to write poems that bring awareness to abuse and self-worth.
