O'RISE-Overcoming Rape, Incest, Sexual & Emotional Abuse takes you on a self discovery of overcoming the effects of sexual, emotional, physical, and psychological abuse. It is an honest perspective of a survivor and an overcomer.

How many times have you thought about ‘that moment” in your life? The day when your life changed before your very eyes. How many times has the picture of betrayal been played within the theatre of your heart?  

Though we may attempt to deny to ourselves that it never happened, the heart doesn’t lie and the scars never fade away. So in truth we say, yes it happened. It happened to you, it happened to me, it happened to your sister, it happened to my mother, and it may have happened to your daughter.

Twenty-eight years ago my life changed forever. I questioned, who gave them permission to come in and steal my life, my innocence and my childhood.

Today, I give you an account of my reflection and the rebuilding of my life.
