Mother Standing Next To Young Daughter Laughing

It’s been so hard in my life. So much has happened. I have been mentored for the last few years by my Brave Girl mentor and at times I’ve gone against her advice. And to be honest it didn’t work out to well when I did. But what I appreciate about the brave girl initiative mentors is they don’t pretend to know it all and they love you and support you even when you so called mess up again and again. But I think I’ve finally got it right. I was in an abusive relationship and then I left and moved in to a great place and then I got into another relationship which was emotionally abusive and then it turned physical. I thought I was in love and I thought this time it won’t happen, I mean twice in a person’s life…like no way. And my mentors lessons on relationships and abuse and signs and things to look out for helped me so much, but I think because I secluded myself when I got into this relationship I didn’t check in as much with my mentor which didn’t help. From both abusive relationships I got a child. Which wasn’t easy. But now life is good. The Brave Girl Initiative put me in their Give-Love program to receive help to get on my feet, even after everything. I got my own one room, and I’m searching for work and also hustling, selling clothes and my own crotched creations on the side. So I’m excited for the future now. There is peace in my life, and I thank God for The Brave Girl Initiative and their support.
