Surviving the Storm: My Story of Abuse, Homelessness and Redemption.

Writer's picture: PassionPassion

Let's fight against Domestic Violence! Protect our families! Join the advocacy groups that are advocating to get the following notable HB proposed and passed this year at the 2025 General Assembly and we at CHW Liberation Consulting supports these bills:

  • HB 1991- which proposes the creation of Domestic Violence Offender Registry. This registry would function similarly to the existing Sex Offender Registry, providing transparency and empowering survivors by giving them access to information about known offenders.

  • HB 2556, which relates to the Address Confidentiality Program. This program helps protect victims of domestic violence, stalking, child abduction, human trafficking, or sexual violence keeping their addresses confidential.

We support the legislative efforts which are a part of a broader strategy to enhance public safety, support survivors, and hold offenders accountable.

It's a time of reflection, advocacy, and a stark reminder of a journey that spans over five decades. A journey that has been intertwined with the cause of mental health awareness.


There was a time when mental health wasn't just a cause I championed, it was my identity, my silent struggle, my invisible battle. I was living on a precipice, a walking time bomb, oblivious to the ticking within. This is my story, a narrative of resilience and survival, of confronting abuse, homelessness, and the pressures of teen pregnancy and forced abortion.


I share my experiences not to dwell on the past, but to illuminate the path for others who might be walking in the shoes I once wore. To let them know that they are not alone, that hope exists, and that we, at CHW Liberation Consulting, are here to help." I am available to speak at your Community Centers, community-based Organizations, and Mental Health Platforms, the most important thing we can do for those who want to help us black and brown communities is to build trust, I still do not trust those who do not look like me, it is sad but true, so when we create our programs for community health work we keep that in mind and we talk about it. It is important and telehealth does not work for people like us, look at the stats it will tell you. It is all about the numbers but for CHW Liberation Consulting it is not about the quantity it is about the quality of our training/programs and outreach.


We recognize that we who are black and brown have been going through mental health issues all our lives, it is NOW, TODAY since the other side is affected in overwhelming numbers due to a broken, abused, privileged healthcare system awakened by the cause and effects of those cherished and greedy moments, we now see on the streets who got what and at what cost! They now travel to our neighborhoods a place where they avoided all their lives, now they look bad and cannot even go back to their hoods, we see them all over the place. I digress!!!


However, there is now a mental health platform where millions of dollars are being available and resources are still lacking in our communities, such a shame, but we are here to help one another we are here to let each other know that our communities are equally important and we have survived many storms, so employ us as mentors, peers, and speakers so we can teach, train and support your programs that and are surrounded by people like us. Enough is Enough!


We welcome your feedback, let's have a conversation.
