I am thrilled you are joining me on this journey! My life changed drastically at age 17 when my father was tragically murdered after offering assistance to a couple in need. This event plunged me into a decade of darkness, where I struggled with addiction and abusive relationships.  I hit rock bottom at 28 when I escaped from a violent partner, and now, as of April 2025, I celebrate six years of sobriety and a renewed faith in Christ. Despite fears about sharing my story, I am called to speak out about my experiences and the redemption I’ve found. “authentically anna” is born from my obedience to God’s calling, and I look forward to witnessing how He works through my testimony.
