About

At the age of 19 I began a relationship with my abuser that lasted for about 7 1/2 years. Once I ended that relationship I had a lot of struggles with self-esteem, self-worth, not feeling good enough, and so many other emotions. It broke me for a whole. I had to come to terms that I AM a survivor! I didn’t understand why me! And if you read my story then you’d understand why. As a victim or a survivor, you don’t always know and understand why you go through the things that you go through in life. We don’t always know our purpose, find our purpose, or even embrace our purpose! I thank God that he allowed me to see what mine was and helps me to continue to see it! I have overcame in order to help others overcome! In 2018 during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I went live on Facebook for the first time to talk about my Domestic Violence Abuse. Who would’ve known later in 2019 my First Lady would ask me to teach on Domestic Violence. At the time, I really became transparent and put together some information and even a crime scene. I knew then that my purpose was to help in that area along with so many other areas that young girls, boys, women, and men go through. In September of 2020, I was asked if I wanted to attempted a church service. I went and I thank the Lord I did because it was meant for me! The message was called “ The Remnants”. I never really heard off or knew what Remnants meant. The Pastor began to teach on the remnants which means what remains. The service caught my attention as he began to talk about how God performed the best work and greatest miracles in what remained. He said God specialized in the people that didn’t even count, that others counted out. The he asked the question.. “ What do you have?” What means after the hurt, headache, pain, heartbreaks, set backs, abuse, let downs, after you been pushed aside, counted out, with no platform, after becoming a single mother, after feeling not good enough. When I tell you I had to be there. I didn’t know why the name remnants stuck with me. But it did. I also love the butterfly because of the stages and transformation that they go through and then they become beautiful butterflies. In 2020 during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, God told me to start the foundation, but I didn’t have a name so I thought then it hit me why the remnants stuck with me. The foundation has to have Remnants in the name because it means “ what remains “ . So after all the abuse, the butterfly still remains! I present to you The Butterfly Remnants Foundation “ Where The Butterfly Still Remains” .
