In Search of Freedom 2: #iMATTER (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781985335233)

Dr. Ja'Net Jacob is a MS native, but currently resides in the state of FL. Despite the odds, she refused to allow the stereotype dictate her path. Dr. Jacob not only graduated from high school as a teenaged mother, she went on to obtain three college degrees in the field of Nursing. Like many others, Dr. Jacob was unaware of the ugliness that feeds domestic violence. That all changed once she began experiencing it, first hand. Domestic violence is often viewed as a situation where the victim chooses to stay in. What people don't realize is that a great percentage of those who suffer at the hands of domestic violence actually don't want to stay. However, packing up and leaving isn't always the easiest, or safest, option. If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, what's most important to understand is that 1) you don't deserve it. If anyone tries to control you, degrade you, or harm you (physically, emotionally, or spiritually), these are not displays of love. 2) You are stronger, greater, and smarter than you may think. Abusers use these manipulative tactics to control you, but it's not who you truly are. 3) Before you try leave, understand that safety must be a priority. Dr. Jacob has worn those shoes, and has walked a mile in them. Thankfully, she was able to find the strength, courage, wisdom, and support that she needed in order to get out safely. The defining moment for her was when a dear friend, KayKay Jallow, shared with her, "When a person is tired enough, that's when they stop complaining, and start making changes." Find your self worth, as well as your defining moment. Be sure to follow her, so you can stay abreast of more tantalizing tales to come: 1)https: //www.facebook.com/drjanetjacob/ 2)https: //www.facebook.com/groups/516172255386068/ 3)https: //www.amazon.com/JaNet-Jacob/e/B0768JMTMV/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0
