“Tayla” - A Body of Motherhood & Survival - A Story of Power

As someone who is a mother of 3 & survivor of DV. This whole series speaks value to me. From birthing my 3 babies to escaping and surviving DV… finding yourself in all of that is hard. 2 different reclaims from myself.

- Motherhood. Sharing your body welling to keep your babies alive. From carrying them for 9 whole months, going through 3 c sections to breastfeeding them. Your body becomes their safe place. Their safe haven. You tend to loose yourself in the middle of the most happiest time of your life.

- Domestic Violence. Having your body taken away from you. It’s something else. DV is physical, mental & emotional. I have sadly experienced all 3. It’s been 2 whole years since I have had my body taken away from me. I have come out on the other end. I am happy, I am safe. I am alive for my now 3 babies. I am on the journey of finding my self again. I am finding a new found love for myself, my body & my life.

I am surviving🤍
