It takes a minute to leave your daughter with someone, but it will take a life time of struggle, resentment, understanding, bitterness, and most of all therapy to help deal with what you thought was a good idea. A parent is suppose to protect their child, not feed them to the wolves. Your child should always come first .... #iamurvoicemovement I approve this message !!! I also had to learn that because you have a child, doesn't make you a mother ... it just proves you can give birth !!! #dobetter #advocate #childmolestation #childabuse #protect #educate #guide #iamurvoice #speaker #author #HurtUsedToLiveHere #movement

Sexual assault is any type of sexual activity that a person does not agree to. It can include touching that is not okay; putting something into the vagina; sexual intercourse; rape; and attempted rape. These drugs are powerful and dangerous. They can be slipped into your drink when you are not looking. The drugs often have no color, smell, or taste, so you can't tell if you are being drugged. The drugs can make you become weak and confused -- or even pass out -- so that you are unable to refuse sex or defend yourself. If you are drugged, you might not remember what happened while you were drugged. Date rape drugs are used on both females and males. The three most common date rape drugs are: Rohypnol (roh-HIP-nol). Rohypnol is the trade name for flunitrazepam (FLOO-neye-TRAZ-uh-pam). Rohypnol is also known as: Circles Forget Pill LA Rochas Lunch Money Mexican Valium Mind Erasers Poor Man's Quaalude R-2 Rib Roach Roach-2 Roches Roofies Roopies Rope Rophies Ruffies Trip-and-Fall Whiteys GHB, which is short for gamma hydroxybutyric (GAM-muh heye-DROX-ee-BYOO-tur-ihk) acid. GHB is also known as: Bedtime Scoop Cherry Meth Easy Lay Energy Drink G Gamma 10 Georgia Home Boy G-Juice Gook Goop Great Hormones Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) Liquid E Liquid Ecstasy Liquid X PM Salt Water Soap Somatomax Vita-G Ketamine (KEET-uh-meen), also known as: Black Hole Bump Cat Valium Green Jet K K-Hole Kit Kat Psychedelic Heroin Purple Special K Super Acid These drugs also are known as "club drugs" because they tend to be used at dance clubs, concerts, and "raves." The term "date rape" is widely used. But most experts prefer the term "drug-facilitated sexual assault." These drugs also are used to help people commit other crimes, like robbery and physical assault. They are used on both men and women. The term "date rape" also can be misleading because the person who commits the crime might not be dating the victim. Rather, it could be an acquaintance or stranger. #daterape #parties #college #students #women #beaware and #men #drinks #collegelife #advocate #awareness #speaker #mentor #movement #iamurvoicemovement #campus #campuslife (at Georgia State University)

Knowledge is 🔑.... End your week right with a good word from Joyce! #GoodWord #truth #encouragement I know a couple of people that needs this word. You brag on what you have but what counts is what's inside. If you get called home today the materialistic items can't be taking with you. You have a big house , nice car and expensive clothes but deep down your lost and broken because your trying to fill a void that money can't fill. Find yourself within and happiness will follow. #enjoylife

WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF ME !?! I used to be ashamed of what people would think of me if I tell them that I was RAPED & taken ADVANTAGE of 6 times in my life. What would they think of me, if I tell them that it started when I was 9 years old with a family member? What would they think of me, if I told them that selling drugs was my way of feeding me and my son at 15? What would they think of me, if I told them that I was pregnant at 12 by my rapist? What would they think of me,If I told them that I tried to kill myself and my children? What would they think of me, if I would have pulled that trigger and blown his brains out after he beat me over the head with a 2X4 ? What YOU think of me is out of my control but what he thinks of me is that I am a courageous woman that has survived all life obstacles and can stand before you today with a smile and share my story to help others. I AM NO LONGER ASHAMED!!!

Video testimonials are the best part of what I do besides helping others speak their truth. Hearing how I changed someone's life by sharing my story is always therapeutic and amazing to see the outcome of so many hearts I've touched.You never know what someone is going through and it starts with being the voice for the voiceless and after that is a domino effect. Please send UR testimony videos so we can continue to help others speak their truth. Send them to [email protected] #iamurvoice #movement #testimony #h2h #author #speaker #books #speakurtruth #survivors #inspire #motivate #uplift #iamurvoicemovement

I don't own the rights to this music..... Words can't express how thankful I am to be able to help so many people. I don't do this for me, I do it for you !!! My purpose is to help others that struggle to speak their truth and are still ashamed of what the next person thinks of them. My life is bigger than me. My life is to HELP, EMPOWER, EDUCATE , and INSPIRE !!! I survived many things and so can you. I won't stop until my voice is heard !!! Again I want to thank @ananahparris for considering me to speak at the 2017 @powerful_beginnings gala.
