author: Tabitha C.
description: Tabitha is from the city of Atlanta. It wasnt always easy for her growing up. As the middle child, she always felt like the oddball &amp; an outcast with her friends. She took all her mistakes and turned them into life lessons, which motivated her to help others. Shes always been considered a strong, independent woman that many looked up to. Her determination to succeed, and help other women along the way has always been admired. She believes, Although everyone may look different on the outside, we are all somewhat struggling with the same things on the inside. Although she isnt a Super Hero, her intentions have always been to save the girls with her story. She enjoys traveling, spending time at the beach, and being surrounded by her loved ones. She also enjoys speaking words of encouragement and being the person that others come to for help.
