title: Broken Narratives: Restoration in the Broken Pieces of Our Lives
author: Lucrecia Slater
description: Lucrecia is an Army veteran, having served her country for 13 years. She has served both in the United States and abroad. She is married to her amazing husband, Romon and have two beautiful daughters, Kimarra 16, and Troi 5. Lucrecia has committed herself to daily serving God by empowering other young teen girls and women. She considers herself to be a social introvert and absolutely loves to laugh. Her sweet spots, however, are deep, conversations with a couple of girlfriends over some Starbucks coffee, writing, or getting lost in a book. When not doing any of that, you can find her either curled up with her husband and kids or being used as a human pillow by her baby girl. Lucrecia and her family reside in Clarksville, Tennessee.
