In her 20's she barley survived a very violent relationship, he assaulted her with a wooden dowel and you could see her skull when it happened. The Drs gave her opioids, when she refused they threatened her with child protective services because she was pregnant and refusing medical advice. She Was told she was on to small a dose to get addicted. Eventually she went to the DV shelter and was turned away, they said her injury was to severe and it put the other women in danger. She survived because drug dealers helped her - or took advantage depending how you look at it. She eventually went to federal prison for a non violent drug charge. She endured and witnessed so much institutional abuse, corruption, systemic racism and cruelty; sometimes she still wakes up screaming. But! She's turned it all around , launched an environmentlly friendly feminine brand thats being sold in stores and also comes in plus sizes. She has gotten bills put on the table and passed for the good of the people- not corporations and institutions. She is letting the world to know what America "land of the free" is doing to it's incarcerated population which is the highest rate in the world. She is also exposing other systemic abuse and corruption that effects Americans everyday. She is sharing her healing journey and what she has learned about her own trauma and mental health

5 years ago I was painting murals as a federal inmate, now I've had my own art shows and launched an environmentlly friendly clothing brand based on my art. Prison opened my eyes to the systemic racism, cruelty, corruption, and inequality in this country. Now I try to expose what I witnessed and endured to legislation. I created this women's clothing brand (also comes in plus sizes) during my healing journey, I want to help people from all walks of life do the same. I'm in the editing stages of my memoir and am also creating an adult coloring book based on PTSD and what I learned from my own trauma.
