Gante Byrd

Have you ever felt like you weren't good enough? Hi I'm Gante, Here’s my story… I come from a background of a crack addicted mother. Growing up, I experienced abandonment, rejection, and sexual abuse. I was a teenage mom, having two kids by the age 17, and homeless, I placed myself in foster care so my children and I can have a place to live. I had to grow up fast, on top of having faulty thinking of negative self worth. I struggled with thoughts of not being good enough. I battled with being accepted and wanted. I walked around thinking that no one would want me. I had no clue as to who I was , and what I stood for. I was so misunderstood; especially at the workplace, so I had to pretend by lowering who I was in order to fit in. My turning point came when I made a resolution that I will no longer shrink myself to make others comfortable but instead I’ll channel my pain and discomfort into becoming my strength. With all the bags I carried, I had to learn how to create my mental freedom
