An advocate. A mother. A fighter. A survivor. The words Elizabeth would use to describe herself. From a young age, Elizabeth found her passions, writing being one and sexual and domestic violence being another. She had huge dreams for a young child, and in the midst of them coming true, her world shifted. With a teen pregnancy, unhealthy relationships, and unfortunate circumstances at home, life dramatically changed. By nineteen she was a single mother fighting to survive the hardest days of her life while still holding on to her dreams. However, through it, she found strength, resilience, and love she did not know she possessed.Today, Elizabeth manages an advocacy program for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, while finishing her Bachelor's degree, raising her daughter, and writing on the side.
