#013- Adaptability: The ability to adjust and respond quickly to changing factors, conditions or environments. Today, Dr. Johanne teaches a master class in it. Born & raised in Haiti surrounded by family and security, her life changes when she moves to the United States at the age of 6 to join her mother (someone she had no recollection of) & a father who seems quite indifferent towards her (for reasons she eventually begins to understand). If learning a new language and culture aren't enough, she encounters not one but two predatory men who take advantage of her and set her on a path of manipulation, indoctrination, and an unfulfilled desire for validation & love.  Her story of origin takes you on an emotional rollercoaster--that's for sure. But the final destination is one of triumph.

If you so choose, take a listen to the how her adaptable spirit leads her to respond to what life had become, in order to make life what it was supposed to be. Her story lends other victims a voice; and it lends all listeners strength & strategy. Tune in.
