Owning self-built businesses, building her very own empire, being pretty and powerful is an enviable life. Lunching at the Ritz, filming with large major television Production Companies with a personal hair stylist and make-up artist at her every beck and call, with a fleet of high-earning business men awaiting her hand for potential relationships. Self-made and self-reliant, a real woman of class and substance. This is my life but I wasn't always like this; this self-proclaimed self-reliant woman once was a needy, desperate, broke, pathetic, naive young lady easily manipulated and swept off her feet with as much effort as a £1.99 chicken and chips snack box. I was the definition of a hot mess! I was the girl from south London you wouldn't take home to see mama, I was the girl that would stumble out of a club at 4 am with no shoes on, I was the type of girl who would stay in pointless, dead-end relationships only to hold the title of a relationship, my level of dating was very low just as my self-esteem, I compromised my morals and values for men who saw no value in me. Coming from a home lacking love and affection I searched for love in all the wrong places just like many women before me. I invited betrayal, hurt, upset, and humiliation into my heart through the men I chose to be with. I ran miles for men who couldn't be bothered to give me an inch. Not only did I open the door to be cheated on, abandoned, and beaten upon, I opened the door to some of my wildest and craziest sexual escapades of my life. Some were good, great even—I'm talking weave-pulling, bed-breaking, and bed-soaking—but those that weren't were gruesomely nauseating and mind-numbing. It took years of mental abuse and torture, but when I finally realized I wasn't made to be broken, the world became my oyster.
