I travel around giving support and knowledge to many aspects of pain and trauma that have affected my life as well as living proof by being a leader of example in my own accomplishments in surviving from my past.

From being raped while being homeless and choosing to keep my daughter (Ariella).  As I watched my own child grow into her own kind of achievements. Such as graduating High School with honors, receiving a full academic to DePaul University, and graduating with national honors to completing a master’s in psychology. This is the same child that was born with water on her brain from the abuse I did while battling a drug addiction during my pregnancy. Nothing fell short in my life as I continued to work hard in showing the world one can change even when there is no support. All my goals have been met now I am working on completing new goals. Someday I hope to have my own facility and save lives in young woman who have or are suffering from the same things she has been through. Opening a haven / center for woman in need of mental love and support.

I have taken knowledge of prevention, support, therapy, life lessons and personal growth to utilize it in not only me & my children but as well as people around the world. Many have reached out to me as far as India to see if I would come help them Hosting several events a year allows me to spread the word all while helping those in need of essential things to bring a smile.

My Wide range of talks and motivational speaking outline a list of many things to cover from my own ordeals, education, practices, and . Prevention and recovery are my main goals as I see to motivation& inspire as a bonus. I hope to plant seeds of faith to encourage everyone to pay attention, seek help, do not give up fighting and anything is possible when it is proposed to you with reasons. My mission is to help you see things from my angle of what can be done to break statistic, social judgment, bias lies, demographic punishment and more.

weekly-feeding

Feedings

Humble Hearts feeds the homeless as often as we can focusing on cold  winter days after feeding the homeless for 15 yrs on 3 days a week  I took noticed that many will feed in the summer but come winter time its too cold and the feeding population slows down. This is the worst time to stop feeding because thats when meals are needed the most. We cook a hot meal right out of the kitchen, feeding anywhere from 45-65  people in the winter to 65-125 during the rest of the year.
