ROBIN MARVEL: HER STORY OF STRENGTH, COURAGE & DETERMINATION

"Robin had the courage and the strength to turn her world around. How? By choosing to take control of her life. Her story is raw and inspiring."- Todd Newton, Emmy award winning host, author & speakerRobin Marvel is a multi-published author and speaker in the field of self development."I am a woman who has beat the odds, changed my life and am now using my story to inspire others .  I'm "that" girl who survived addiction, living a childhood riddled with mental, domestic and drug abuse, several bouts of homelessness and countless parental kidnappings.  Becoming addicted to alcohol and leading a partying lifestyle at age 15 led to being sexually assaulted. The destructive path did not end there, and I soon became teen mother at age 16 (in no relation to the sexual assault). Upon learning I was having a girl, I made the decision that we would not be a statistic. I knew I would have to work hard, but the daunting task did not discourage me. I continue to work hard and ensure that this is our truth every day. It's important to me that I am always a great role model for my first daughter, as well as her four younger sisters, by living with self respect and determination".  "My story provides a beacon of light to those who feel they have arrived at the darkest corner of their lives. I am living proof that you can single-handedly turn your own life around. I took every negative situation I was dealt in life and turned each of them into motivation and purpose. I made the choice to break the cycle of dysfunction I had come to know as a child and young adult by taking responsibility for all aspects of who I am."
