Over the years, I've been battling against destructive rumors that have brought my reputation down the drain. This year, I'm getting bolder in displaying that publicly in whichever way that I can in an attempt to get out of chaos caused by other people. As a form of self care, I am celebrating my personal achievements as I continue adding onto my list of small and large victories.

Bridged relationships between immediate family members and distant family members along with other families.

I went to court for the first time in person and constructed my own testimony presenting it in front of the judge. This went on for a year and a half representing myself from January 2023 to May 2024.
Much more knowledgeable about court and law through experience and independent study.
Sent care packages frequently to family members this year in 2023 even while homeless. Any little bit would count for providing additional financial assistance to them as well.
Persistent in researching resources on and off dependent on computer access in the city, county, state, and the country.
No bankruptcy and continuously building up credit even while surviving human trafficking extreme setbacks and much stolen belongings.
Maintaining a bank account with a savings after theft and closures of all credit cards while expanding my financial access with missing resources.
My dogs are still healthy even with my low income through natural remedies, raw and cooked food diets to aid them during uneasiness, and low maintenance hygiene routines.
Have successfully gone to food banks even after rejected for food for no reason multiple times. It can be difficult following multiple restricted schedules in obtaining food and beverages. I have also worked in partnership with The Salvation Army Puyallup Food Bank with requests and improvement suggestions while marketing to the public via word of mouth and social media to encourage more overall donations for the community.
Continuing to find help through various legal resources as well as participate in jury duty in February of 2021.
Maintained the same job for over a year despite interferences and barriers from December 2022 to November 2023. I have also worked 3 consecutive years in a row during the holiday season with The Salvation Army of Puyallup as a bell ringer helping fundraise money for the programs in the church, Recreation Center, food bank, youth programs, etc. 🙂
Almost caught up on filing police reports.
All of my writing channels have been updated since I became ill in mid-February due to extreme sexual violence.
Have successfully been healing myself with the use of natural remedies while unable to access medical assistance.
Have successfully saved some of my writing for the first time in my life after it being stolen for so many years.
Almost done backing up all of my writing channels and protecting from cyber theft and computer/phone invasions.
Been speaking out against businesses and people who have been oppressing me in every way possible.
Have turned around my online reputation to more positive. My Google search is mostly of my own writing material and other areas showcasing my work instead of rumors. :)
Created and publicly listed helpful several resources and information for other victims and survivors.
Still maintaining my car despite being severely and frequently vandalized.
Have a wardrobe again despite sabotage.
There are at least a few safe places to go to now for shopping and assistance.
Less marked cop cars surrounding and/or following me while running errands for the past couple of weeks.
Can test my own samples of sexual assault now.
My lattice vine garden project is still thriving in the yard even though my front yard was vandalized by neighbors.
Without having support for my businesses, I still found a way to sell clothes, jewelry, and other accessories while homeless.
I can survive abuse in so many ways that I’ve been putting myself as unstoppable!!!!
Remaining noncompromising of my personal beliefs, life values and other internal matrices against bullying while continuing to fight abuse.
I’ve bashed cyberbullying within the gaming world online since I was 20-years-old and now have assistance from certain gaming platforms for safer spaces to play while people know that I am female through internal gaming disciplinary enforcement.
Standing firm on not accepting bribery or blackmail while remaining steadfast on pushing forward towards success.
