Why do I care?

I relate to every single bullet point listed above and have spent a lot of time working on healing my broken soul. When I aged out of foster care, I knew everything and could take on the world. Well, I though so like every other new adult. Unfortunately, I made a lot of poor decisions before I realized that I really  didn’t know much at all. That is why this website exists. I spent a long time hiding from my childhood and now I share it openly to help provide insight on how I went from broken child to successful business woman.
