“What I do feel is an inner peace, an inner confidence and happiness from within. I have grown so close to my kids and they continue to push me to be the best person I can be. I look into my son’s eyes and I push myself to show him a confident, independent woman who deserves respect.

It is so important to me to continue to build myself up and keep my children’s environment stable, healthy, and consistent.”
