Today I have a very special guest named Earlina Gilford Shine. She is a published author, an award winning film writer, screenplay and stage writer, producer, director, founder of BlessHands4U of Lyfe Outreach and more.

On this compelling episode of "A Fresh Start Podcast," titled "I Survived Abuse" Earlina shares her story of how she survived being sexual abused by her uncles as a child, abuse with the foster care system within her foster homes and domestic abuse with her ex boyfriend. Y’all this episode is deep and Earlina becomes truly transparent with us all. Journey with her, listen as she shares how she overcame.

If you or anyone you know is being abused and needs help. We encourage you to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1800.799.SAFE that’s 1800-799-7233 or you can text “start” to 88788.
