I grew up fast. My mom’s car accident left her with a brain injury and mental illness, so I became her caregiver while still a child. I faced physical, mental, and sexual abuse, racism, homelessness, and heartbreaks, but each chapter taught me strength, empathy, and grace. I’ve battled depression, rebuilt myself more than once, and learned that healing isn’t linear but it’s always possible. I want to be for others what I needed back then, someone who listens, understands, and reminds you that your story isn’t over yet
