Carolyn visits with college students
By sharing her personal story of triumph over her own life’s traumas and adversities, it is with zeal, humor and southern charm that Carolyn has become widely known and often described as “keepin’ it real.” Ever on the ready to speak to masses or small groups, Carolyn especially finds fulfillment and purpose in touching the lives of those who struggle with abuse in their life. She says it best in her own words:
I share my battles and victories with all the victims and struggling survivors of abuse and domestic violence as encouragement, support and to relay to you the message that there is hope, there is a way out and there is a way to empowerment. You have the right to choose the life you want to lead. Choose wisely, and live happily.
Being a support system and advocate for each of you is the passion of my life. I found the way out of the tunnel of darkness. Now my life is dedicated to extending the hand of a fellow traveler, to help you find that the light coming at you is not a train of destruction, rather the beacon of hope!
In the midst of years of domestic violence,
preceded by verbal, emotional and mental abuse,
this was my wish, my dream.
Today it is my anthem.
I share it with all the victims, survivors and struggling survivors of abuse and domestic violence as encouragement, support and to relay to you the message that there is hope, there is a way out and there is a way to empowerment. You have the right to choose the life you want to lead. Choose wisely, and live happily.
