Fierce & Fabulous Women's Empowerment Luncheon,

About the event

Well I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a 30 year oldAfrican-American female living in the Jacksonville, FL area. Within the last 2weeks my life has turned upside down. I finally got the courage to leave anabusive relationship after 2 years trying to stay and make it work. The reason Ifinally decided to leave was because I was 16 weeks pregnant and started tothink about my unborn child growing inside of me. I had a previous pre-termpregnancy and my little girl did not make it. God knows how bad I want to be amother and I felt this was my chance. I wanted to protect myself and my unbornchild. I decided on May 29th that this will be the last time you put your handson me.   Then the worst happened, June 8th my water broke and I was devastated. Iwas scared, the doctors let me know that the outcome would not be good because Idid not have much amniotic fluid left in my sack. I was released from thehospital June 9th on complete bed rest, and ordered to follow up with my doctoron Thursday. I prayed and prayed! I researched on the Internet and read some ofthe sad stories and also some of the happy endings. I still had hope. OnThursday, June 11th I went to my doctors appointment to be told the bad newsthat they would have to admit me to the hospital because infection had set in. Icalled my mom scared and crying because yet again the worse was happening.  I was admitted to the hospital at 2:00pm and the doctors let me know myoptions, I was scared. Then around 4pm with out being induced my contractionsstarted and I knew I was in labor. My baby boy was born June 12th at 6:06am. Icould not believe this was happening again. At 2pm I had to have surgery becauseI was not able to deliver the placenta. My mind and body was drained.   I let his father know on June 13th once I was released from the hospitaland received more confirmation that he did not care about me. I felt so broken.Why me is what I kept asking myself.   I am putting this luncheon together to bring women together so we canempower each other and build relationships. We all go through differentexperiences in life, but our experience might help uplift the next person.   Please take the time to review the attached packet and help those women whoneed an uplifting.   I look forward to hearing from you, #BabyLorenzoCarter and#BabyAlexandriaCorrinne will not let mommy stop helping others, even though Ihave suffered. My babies are looking down on me saying mommy you can do it,continuing helping others.

We canempower one another and make a difference by coming together.
