I write about my life as I feel there is a lot that has happened, at least initially, when I look back and reflect on my past, it has been an ugly torturous adventure that has made me the woman that I am today. They say that gold must be put through the fire in the furnace to reveal its shine. I am a living example of that. My book, “I Survived” describes my journey through the fiery life of molestation, abuse, rape, victimization, suppression, and more. Initially, it was me alone. Later, when I gave birth to my kids, I realized that I didn’t want to subject my kids to similar pain and torture that I had lived through.
When I became a mother, I realized that there are other little girls and women out there who are someone’s daughters and they do not deserve the pain and torture that they are subject to. Hence, unknowingly, I first became my own inspiration which was also one of the reasons why I wrote, “I Survived”. Read the book on Kindle or order your copy from Amazon. In this book, you will realize the type and attitude of people that we live with.
These are the people that I had lived with. These are the people with whom I had put up with. These are the people who had raped and molested me. These are the people who had been my suppressors. I fought and overcame them all, becoming emotionally and mentally strong in the process. My struggles have been described in my book, “I Survived”. Read it on Kindle today to understand the story of my struggles. This will give you a fair idea of why I am an inspiration to myself first and then to the others who need me.

Introduction
My name is Celisha J. I have been through a lot, learned, and am better because of it. I am a firm believer that every lesson is a blessing. God has saved me so many times. I know he did this because he has something bigger planned for me.
My prayer for this book is that it helps women and children who have gone through the same or similar situations to know that they don’t have to allow the traumas of their past to keep them from being successful. I believe that God has a plan for our life, but we did something to alter that plan along the way. He did not intend for us to struggle or have a hard life. He allows us to choose the path we want to go on. The good thing is he is that he is Always there to pick us up when we fall. We were born for greatness.
Hold yourself accountable for your mistakes and forgive yourself and those who hurt you. Forgiveness is for you. I want people to know you can be the best you that you allow. No one says it will be easy, but the main thing to remember is that you are responsible for you. I believe that the only person you can truly believe in life, who won’t let you down, is God and yourself. In order for you to crawl out of the slump of being abused, hurt, let down, controlled, and battered is, your faith in God and the belief that he has better for you. He does not want us to live in our past. He intended for us to learn from it and allow our past to help other people gain strength, but if we tell our stories and we have not grown from what happened to us, then who can we really help?
I have done some things in my past that I am not proud of, and this book tells you my story and how I remember it. No, it is not everything, but the book will tell you the things that stood out the most to me. I have learned a lot and grown from my mistakes, and I have decided not to allow the embarrassment, pain, and struggles from my past to hold me back, so I am releasing it in this book.
This is my Ugly Truth!
