Be the hero of your own story.

This organic cotton tote features the empowering reminder: “Become the Hero of your story, not the Victim.”

It’s one of the mantras that helped carry me through my healing journey, the same story I share in my upcoming memoir, BULLIED TO BESTIES: A Daughter’s Journey to Forgiveness.
