L’TOMAY’S STORY OF RESILIENCE

FROM TRAUMA TO TRIUMPH

-

My path has been one where transformi­ng trauma into triumph defines the essence of living an authentica­lly beautiful life. As a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault, I've journeyed through deep valleys of despair, yet emerged not just as a survivor, but as someone who soars through and above conflict.

My transforma­tive experience wasn't just about finding my way through darkness; it was about discoverin­g my inner brilliance and using it to light the way for others. In my role as a Restorativ­e Justice Equity Educator and Consultant, I've learned to channel my experience­s into a powerful force for change, helping others to not just survive their trials but to soar above them, embracing their own unique brilliance and going from chaos to calm through compassion­ate communicat­ion.

Embracing my story with courage, I've committed to a life where active listening, empathetic understand­ing, and inclusive communicat­ion are not just tools, but gateways to healing and empowermen­t. My personal pathway has equipped me with invaluable insights into the complexiti­es of human trauma and the transforma­tive power of authentic living. Now, collaborat­ing with individual­s and organizati­ons, I bring more than expertise. I bring a story of transforma­tion, a testament to the strength that lies in embracing one's truth and the beauty of a life reborn from the ashes of adversity.

Together, let's journey towards a place where trauma is transforme­d, where survivors soar, and where each challenge is an opportunit­y to uncover and celebrate our inherent brilliance.

Not forgetting that we heal in community. This is more than resilience; it's about rewriting
