Healing Childhood Trauma

Robin Marvel is "that" girl. She has survived mental, domestic and drug abuse, homelessness and kidnappings throughout her childhood. Becom¬¬ing addicted to alcohol and partying at age 15 resulted in a sexual assault and to becoming a teen mother at age 16 (not because of the sexual assault). Upon finding out she was having a girl, she made the choice that they would not be a statistic. She knew she would have to work hard and con¬tinue to work hard to make sure that would become her truth. By living with self-respect and determination, Robin strives to be a positive role model for her 5 daughters. She has taken those negative situations she was dealt in life, and turned them into motivation and purpose. Now a multi-published author and motivational speaker in the field of self development, her passion is to use her story to show others that they are not a product of their past, to show them that even though they may face challenges, they have the power to live their dreams by breaking cycles and taking personal responsibility now. She is proof of this! She has also started a non-profit organization, S.E.L.F-Self Empowered Living Free. This involves striving to create strength and confidence through aiding those in need. S.E.L.F. hosts a variety of charitable events to fill food pantries, provide life skills and empowerment to those in need. It focuses on the homeless, feeding the hungry and on teen pregnancy.
