💜 6 Years Later… Still Remembering. Still Standing. Still Speaking. 💜
April 8, 2020… a day that forever changed my life.
This was not something I heard about on the news first…
This happened in my home.
I remember the fear.
I remember the chaos.
I remember hiding in the closet… calling 911… praying…
not knowing what the next moment would hold.
And when it was over…
Sharekia… and her baby, Paul Jr… were gone.
đź’” A mother.
đź’” A child.
đź’” Lives taken too soon through domestic violence.
There are no words that can fully describe that kind of trauma.
No way to “unsee” or “unfeel” what I experienced that day.
But what I do know is this:
God did not allow my su
🙏🏽 Out of this trauma… purpose was born.
From the pain of that day…
God birthed:
✨ Cry Out 2 Get Out! Unmasking the Mask of Domestic Violence
What was once silence… became a voice.
What was once fear… became a mission.
What was once tragedy… became a movement.
💜 Today, I don’t just remember…
I honor. I speak. I fight. I help others get out.
Because there are still women…
still families…
still children…
living behind closed doors… suffering in silence.
And if my story…
if my survival…
if my voice can help save even ONE life…
Then Sharekia and Paul Jr.’s lives were not lost in vain.
