As a child growing up in a home with family violence, I was convinced that I was destined to live a life devoid of any meaning, purpose, or love. I was just 10 when depression first got its claws into me & by the time I was 16, was suffering from suicidal thoughts. My committed suicide when I was 18, and so began my downward spiral. After many years, I am now free of my past traumas (including sexual assault), and have become an author, freelance journalist, and the Co-Founder of Brisbane's first DV Memorial. My passion is to help others find their voice and reason to #LiveOneMoreDayEveryDay
