They both join us this week to share their honenest and vulnerable story and to promote their book Re-Defining Normal.
After both spent time in fostercare they met in college and through a healing journey have developed a healthy relationship with eachother, getting married this year.
Together, they've created ROSE (Rising Over Societal
Expectations) Empowerment Group, a company structured to close the information gap for young adults as well as The Scholarship Expert where they support students to graduate debt-free while obtaining the skills needed to be successful. Now, they are releasing
Redefining Normal: How Two Foster Kids Beat The Odds and Discovered Healing, Happiness and Love to share their story of how they've had to redefine what love and healthy
relationships look like.
