A Living Witness

About the Book

A Living Witness: The Journal Writing of My Life, Healing, and God is an autobiographical memoir I wrote from September 2001 until December 2001. It chronicles not only my internal struggles, thoughts, and emotions but opened my eyes about the society I live in that shaped my individuality. “Someone was hurt before you; wronged before you; beaten before you; humiliated before you; raped before you; yet someone survived.”
