THE NEXT GLOBAL Impactor

MOVEMENT

I was a single mother with three special needs children and a fourth in a rehab situation.

I have been in two states courts for seven years with multiple attorneys to protect my children. There were many issues; an example was one state wanted to take my children because I would not send one of my children to an abusive father in another state, and the state I lived in, told me that if I did send him, they would take my other children away. I had to find an attorney that was ready to go public with me if the judge did not grant us a last-minute stay.

I started a nonprofit built on digital platforms without having had an understanding of social media and websites.

In all these examples, I found a way to win. Many of them was with others that joined me and we were able to win together.

Everything I do is not about me. In everything I do, I find people that are the best at what they do, and we will find a way to win together.

I know one thing, I believe in words of Winston Churchill, “Never, never, ever give up.”
