I’m an indie author from Detroit who just finished my fourth book "Sunbeams Through Blankets: An Inspirational Guide to Surviving Familial Sex Trafficking". It is a hybrid memoir filled with prose, poetry, and colored photographs of my artwork. In it, I wrote not only about my experiences being trafficked as a child, but I include many techniques I have used to heal from my trauma. It is a book that I wrote for everyone: survivors, therapists, teachers, doctors, law enforcement professionals, social workers, and more.

My first book was, "What They Couldn’t Take: A Memoir of Survival From Familial Sex Trafficking". Although it was my first book, it is not the first time I’ve shared my story to help those in need. I have also connected with health professionals and have given recommendations and information to organizations that combat child sex trafficking in an effort to advocate for the innocent. I hope to connect with you to continue this effort. Together we can make meaningful change and save as many children as we can!

I have also written two children's books regarding the issue of child safety, and I hope you will share them with the children in your lives.

To encourage my inner strength, I have a dedicated yoga practice, enjoy gardening, and continue expressing myself through writing and many art disciplines. I am happily married, live with my husband and cat kids in the Detroit area, and have found a new level of peace I am grateful to live in.
