I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where my life began under challenging circumstances.

When I was just a year old, my father left my mother, and I grew up under the care of my father, grandmother, and stepmother.

My stepmother was emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive, and her cruelty marked much of my childhood.

Over time, I’ve come to understand that my father was also a victim of narcissistic abuse, caught in a situation he couldn’t see clearly.

It wasn’t until after his passing that I fully recognized his struggles and the weight of his own suffering.

When I was 13, we moved to Los Angeles, where I met my future husband.

At just 15, I married, hoping this would free me from my painful home life.

Unfortunately, I found myself in yet another abusive relationship.

My ex-husband’s behavior, which I now see as narcissistic, manipulated and controlled me.

Despite my father’s reservations, he gave his blessing, hoping that marriage would bring me a better life than what

I was enduring with my stepmother.

I yearned to feel loved and valued, and in my innocence,

I believed my husband’s affection was genuine.

However, the reality was far from what I’d dreamed. Within two weeks of marriage, I was subjected to emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse, and it was years before I understood that what I was experiencing was not love.

When I began to recognize the truth and attempt to free myself, the abuse took new forms, including financial manipulation.

Since our separation in 2021, my ex-husband’s attempts to control my life didn’t end.

I endured stalking and smear campaigns, which led to a period of deep isolation.

But in those difficult times, I found the strength to study narcissistic abuse, which helped me make sense of my past, reclaim my truth, and rebuild my life.

Having lived through decades of pain, I know what it feels like to be lost, broken, and unsure of one’s worth.

But in those darkest moments, I discovered a deep determination to help others.

I created a foundation to raise awareness of narcissistic and abusive behaviors, dedicated to educating people on how to recognize, escape, and recover from these patterns.

Through this foundation, my hope is to empower others to reclaim control over their lives, experience genuine love, and form healthy, supportive relationships.

I want people to know they are not alone, that healing is possible, and that a future filled with peace, self-worth, and true happiness awaits.
