I'm a 42-year-old wife, mother, and entrepreneur. I own a quilt shop, service machines for a living, and have a full life immersed in the quilting community

Before all of this, I had to work my way through the justice system and the prison system. Thankfully, I came out damaged but not completely broken. I want to use my experience and resources to help as many people as possible.
