1. Tell us about your book Broken but Not Destroyed.

Broken But Not Destroyed; Restoration Is Possible is a book that is a testament of the life-changing and life-threatening situations I encountered. These experiences occurred from my childhood to adulthood that broke me emotionally, mentally and physically. At the age of 13 I was cleaning my mother's bullet wounds years later I was kidnapped and held at gunpoint. I have encounter so many trials in my life from the kidnapping I mentioned above to a devastating divorce not to mention domestic abuse. With that being said this book is not only a testimony to my life but I'm hoping it will be a source of inspiration to the readers. 

In my book " Broken But Not Destroyed; Restoration is possible" I candidly open up my most private thoughts and feelings. I'm sharing these experiences with the world so that others can overcome these situations. Going through these life trials has made me grow on so many levels and I want to inspire others by my personal story.

2. What do you hope that your readers will gain from reading your story?

I hope that readers will find the underlying messages, "What's broken can be fixed.  What's destroyed is lost forever" and "Brokenness doesn't have to be permanent if you have the courage to pick up the pieces of your life and move on."

3. It took you seven years to write this book. Why did it take you so long to publish your book?

I struggled with whether to publish some of the things I discuss in the book.  I wanted to protect people's feelings and didn't want to hurt anyone by telling "my" story.  I started and stopped quite a few times.  Ultimately, I had to finish what God had assigned me to do.  I knew that this was a bold move for me and I would be sacrificing my privacy. This book took awhile to write but I knew that my story would impact lives so it's something I had to complete.

4. You revealed some personal things about yourself. What advice can you give to those who have suffered abuse, molestation or infidelity?

 All of those things tend to thrust people who are affected by them into a "victim" category.  My advice would be for them to Acknowledge, Accept and Heal.
 (1) Acknowledge-What has happened to you. look the experience in the face and acknowledge that it happened.

(2) Accept- It is very important to accept what has happened to us as well as it is to accept any personal responsibility, if any. Accept that life has trials and tribulations and not every experience is fair but by accepting that it was a part of your past or present is the next step to overcoming a horrible experience.

(3) Give yourself permission to heal- The healing process won't begin until you take the first two steps and then allow yourself to go through the healing process, which can be painful, just like physical healing.  Once you get through these phases you will be able to transition from victim to survivor.

5. If you could change anything in your past what would it be and why?

I wouldn't suppress my feelings, I would never try to change anyone because people have to change themselves and I would be much more selective about the relationships I choose to engage in.

6. Why do you think God broke you all the way down before he could restore you?

This was the only way He could draw me closer to him.... there is a saying " God will break you all the way down and rebuild you" and that is exactly what I believe he did for me. He is now able to use me for a bigger purpose. As a motivational speaker I can now tell my story and use my experience as a testimony to inspire those who have encounter similar trials.
