Atlantis Brown

I Pressed on Atlantis Brown

A strong woman is both soft and powerful. Sometimes doing things that are best for you will come at a cost, but in the long run it will put you on the right path and you will be much happier with yourself. At the age of 6 is when my life changed for the worst. Everything seemed to be different and to me seemed like it would never get better for me. I lost myself at an early age. I noticed that many people of color do not openly discuss these stories. We know it happened; we just do not discuss it. Our generation needs to change that. I struggled with depression and anxiety in my adolescent and teen years. Those that were close to me would have said, "There is nothing wrong with her!" Had I been properly guided and known what I know now as an adult, I would have been in a much better place and enjoyed my childhood. I genuinely believe that a woman must first heal herself, find herself, know herself, correct herself, respect herself, be herself, and love herself so that she will not bleed onto others.
