How I Overcame Poverty and Abuse to Become a Million Dollar Business Owner
I grew up in survival mode, shaped by poverty, abuse, and the belief that I’d never be more than what I was handed. For years, I carried shame, scarcity, and self-doubt like heavy baggage. But little by little, I started rewriting the script. In this talk, I’ll share the turning points, breakdowns, mindset shifts, and small brave choices that helped me rise from rock bottom to building a million-dollar business. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t fast—but it was possible. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or like success is for “other people,” I want you to know: your past doesn’t define your future. You can rise, too—and I’ll tell you how I did it.
