  1. I love this. This is what I call the TESTIMONY after the TEST. You put into words the meaning of going through something. Because so many forget through is not a permanent state, there is always the other side, which is the TESTIMONY!🥰

  2. Your heartfelt story stopped me in my tracks- I am speechless and at the same time ready to scream so loudly how in awe I am of your strength. Please know how much you’ve inspired me and how proud I am to call you friend!!

      Thank you for reading my article! You encouraged me to use my voice back in my Honors English class and I’m glad I found a way to do that in a meaningful way. Thank you!

  3. So blessed that you’ve chosen to share your story. God is so good. Love that you share accessible and actionable tips for those who may be experiencing the same or similar challenges. Thankful to have connected with you.

  4. To be honest and humble, and live your truth shows how strong you have become. You are very smart and deserve the best. I look forward to reading your articles in the future.
