Domestic violence is the front line of the war against women.

The enemy doesn’t stand a chance when the victim decides to survive.

Use the darkness of your past to propel you to a brighter future.

Our wounds are our sources of growth.

When I talk about my trauma I am not asking you to carry it or relieve me from it.

A survivor’s story is always a reality check.

Culture is no excuse for abuse.

In violence, we forget who we are

Suspicion of Abuse gets to your toes before you see it in your face.

Anyone can hide. Facing up to things, working through them, that’s what makes you strong.

You survived the abuse. You’re gonna survive the recovery.

All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.

Don’t judge yourself by what others did to you.

Trauma may happen to you, but it can never define you.

I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.

Confidence and intelligence are always beautiful in a woman.

I don't need easy, I just need possible.

Be the type of woman who does not need other people to validate her.

I have always been one to encourage perseverance.
