The Stairs

How did a wounded young girl from the Democratic Republic of Congo find healing and the courage to climb stairs without fear of falling? As a young girl from Central Africa, I faced the immense challenge of leaving a war-torn country and relocating to three different nations, feeling as though I was starting over each time. While these experiences were often scary and sometimes unbearable, I eventually realized that these stories needed to be told. To my surprise, sharing my stories became the source of my strength and gave me the courage to move forward. Sharing my story inspired me to become someone who listens to the difficult experiences of others and supports those who carry similar scars. I hope my story helps others find their own strength to continue moving forward in their own journey.
