During my seventh year of undergrad, which was the year I was set to graduate with a degree in Mass Communication, I reached a pivotal moment. It was then that I realized pursuing a career in Journalism wasn’t the right path for me.

My dream was to become a full-time author, and my mentor, a professor, encouraged me to gain experience by working for a publisher before I pitched my book. I took their advice and worked as a copy editor for a couple of book publishers. However, I never got around to pitching my book, and it remained unwritten.

Eventually, I shifted my focus to advocating for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. As a survivor, speaking up for victims of trauma became something meaningful to me. In January of 2018, I took a bold step by launching my own book publishing company. Simultaneously, I began my journey toward mental wellness.

The road to growing my book publishing company while healing from trauma has been far from easy, but it has been profoundly rewarding. As time has passed, I’ve dedicated myself to self-improvement and the growth of my business. Both of which I have found a way to weave together and share with others.
