today [Music] there you go welcome welcome welcome you know I want to first of all commend you for your courage and for what you're about to share today it's a subject that's right now a hot topic and we're right in the midst of voting some things into place but you are not going to come together now we're gonna we're gonna tag-team we're gonna put together an instrument that will help others and hopefully some of the tragic things you've had to experience through your courage and just by being here today we hope to prevent that in the lives of other people so I congratulate you ahead of time for what we're about to do thank you now I call this your world because you're gonna bring us in to your world and by doing that the people that watch become a part of your experience and what you had to go through so let's just start right off at the top you're here for a specific purpose and you're gonna share some things with us they may be hard for others to hear but they need to hear it so we can come up with some solutions and then we're gonna back up and walk away from how it was growing up to where you are now so what happened what was this issue that took place this a love triangle I was in a like you said a love triangle unknowingly I was dating a guy for only three months I had no idea that he had a girlfriend and I was called to a place one day he took my car I woke up I had no idea you know we're here when I called him no answer he called me back and he was like hey come here so of course I went there you know thinking I could retrieve my car and he was that another female resident so him and I were outside the car arguing and as I turned my back to the door she came out of the apartment I had no idea she was there I didn't even know where I was actually I just you know it's called to a place and she came out with a big cup and with a concoction of liquid red devil I mixed with Clorox I found out later the forensics said that the court hearing that it got up it could get up to like 400 degrees in a matter of minutes so she she came out and she called my name really loud so she knew who I was of course I didn't know who she was and she splashed me with his concoction in my face and instantly I fell to the ground and I was laying on my back and my breathing got really shallow and I began to see this white cloud come over my eyes at this time I couldn't move because the skin had a came off of my face my neck my back my shoulders everything had just laid off and I was literally laying out there dying mmm which was really hard for me because I could it was almost like I was trapped inside of myself I could feel myself breathing but it was getting more shallow and shallow and then of course I guess he felt sorry for me so he picked me up he put me in my car and he took me up to a gas station which was about three minutes it seemed like an eternity at the time but it was about three minutes away and so he took me out the you know he lifted me out the car at this point I could barely walk or breathe so he was dragging me blood everywhere and we got inside the store the clerk she started screaming hysterically and you know so she called 9-1-1 they gave me to a a water fountain to the right of the the desk and they start splashing water on my face but by this time I guess he panics or whatever so he leaves me there I didn't see him again for another year or so thank God she called 9-1-1 and they were able to you know get me some help well by this time they I went to the local hospital and they held a copter they flew me to the Augusta Burn Center where I later went into a coma for a little over a month which was really tough and woke up blind seventeen percent of my body scarred it says so it's really it's really difficult to hear and I know even more difficult for you to talk about yeah because of you know we all have emotions we just work hard to make sure that those emotions don't have us but the question it just kind of rolls in through your head how could somebody do something like this I mean just human respect from human to human how could you know what possesses a person to do something so horrific so egregious like I said before in the open I've just never heard of anything like this and I think I'm gonna take a break for a moment so I can can do a proper interview because I got some weird emotions going on on the inside of me so if we could let's this let's take a break and when we come back I'm gonna I'm gonna ask some questions and hopefully these are the same questions that are in your mind right now and and now we so appreciate Sabrina for painting such a graphic detailed picture of what happened but I had no idea that you know today I would literally be able to kind of see just what happened but anyway we'll be right back join women from all over the world as we take off our masks and become the authentic women God created us to be I would encourage every man every woman to come to a radical Women's Conference you go home feeling satisfied and fulfilled and empowered because you got answers to your questions you know this is going to be an amazing experience register today the unfiltered Women's Conference takes place March 14 through 16 2019 welcome back now Sabrina you left off with waking up in the hospital after this coma and discovering what you discovered let's pick up from there with your story and what was going on in your emotions and just all the things that were going on on the inside it was so tough it was so tough and it was just senseless like like why I kept asking myself why how did I get here to this place and feeling abandoned depressed lonely dark suicidal all these things crossed my mind like I don't want to live like this this is this is not I went from you know everybody saying oh you're so pretty and you know you're beautiful and I knew you know instantly that my vanity was gone so what motivated you to you know keep pushing keep going on at that time I would say my kids because I was angry even angry at God angry at her the young lady that did this anger at him my entire family I mean I just there was a thousand reasons like the you know why I didn't want to live and I was angry at everybody my kids was was really a big big part of me wanting to continue to live let's go back to this this triangle again tell me about this guy to be honest doctor he was not a nice guy I think you know as I think about it now you know my life was on a rollercoaster ride up down my had been through a lot of abusive relationships in the past I didn't think that I was worthy of finding a good person so when I ran across him he was absolutely nobody that I would allow my daughter's today or even refer anybody to and that's just being honest because and there were so many warning signs there in the beginning I mean I it was continuous lives manipulation just things that you know I was I was tough and I didn't allow things and and I was a disciplinarian in my home but then when it came to men I just became weak and and he knew that you know so I think early on he played on a lot of my weaknesses there's a lot of lies he wasn't a nice guy he was he was very controlling and manipulative but all of that together still was not enough for me to leave him alone because I needed someone you know just felt like I had to have someone there well how would you describe your self-esteem at that time would you consider it being pretty low during that time medium high what was it like oh it was absolutely low even though I put a smile on and I attended the kids events and I hung out with my friends as soon as I got by myself the majority of the time I was crying I am because of my past I had very two brothers a fiancee in just feeling abandoned you know by them feeling really lonely most of the time so of course my self-esteem was really low I was broken I was broken from a lot of things that happen in my childhood two adolescent years it was just one big concoction of something waiting to happen honestly yeah so did this guy know that in this triangle did he know that this woman was gonna do this did he have any knowledge of it I truly believe he did because when we went to court the prosecutor said you know he needs to come testify and so of course he comes and sit with the family he acts like nothing has happened he had no wrongdoing and my dad and my family they're cringing because you know I got them type of cousins you know yeah yeah I got I got baby and so thank God they weren't there but uh you know so I'm it everybody's cringing like how you know how could he just be so nonchalant and um but he later on tells me so this is the one time that I was around and he tells me that um you know she um she says she wanted to kill you I didn't believe her and she said but she said she was going to she was going to use a gun and I and I said no you know don't do that and so yeah I think he knew he knew something was gonna happen he didn't know what was gonna happen I truly believe he did so I think this is the reoccurring question and I don't know if it was later discovered but why what was her explanation why does she do what she did why what was her what motivated her to to do this of course jealously hmm and that's the first thing that comes to mind when she was asked in the courtroom if she had anything to say I was blind of course but I was told that she looked at me and turned her head and shook her head and said no she didn't have anything to say in that courtroom that day she had a son that was the same age as my daughter for so our kids were 4 years old at the time and just the thought of being you know handcuffed and taken away in that moment I had sympathy for her but of course I knew that I had to start my life over and that she had taken you know she had taken and she tried to take my kids and mom away from them Wow um man so what was the what was the ruling what was the result what was the consequence of of her actions as far as the court was concerned she received twenty years in jail so I felt like there was some justice there she will be currently getting out in about two years how you feel about that i forgiven and I I remember in the beginning someone would ask me you know have you forget and I say yes because that was the right thing to say but honestly I started the process because I mean sitting in a room being depressed all the time and and just feeling like you know what was me what happened why is this I mean it just it became old I knew that that I needed to make a change and how do you do that I wanted and the first thing I wanted to do was well the very first thing I wanted to do was put my hands on but secondly I was like you know so now that now that I've gotten justice because the Justice it didn't fail me in that aspect but you know Here I am but at home with four kids what do I do and so their lives are still going on and I'm laying in the bed you know feeling sorry for myself so I just began a process of healing and in the process of healing I had to forgive and I did I really I really started the process it took some years but I forgiving her yeah and you've taken your power back from her oh absolutely all of it [Applause] I need you to verify something but are you familiar with this type of thing happening in our country to other women oh absolutely yeah yes um I have an organization for domestic violence so in doing my research it's rented it is it's it's widespread um women are dying everyday at the hands of of course there was another another female that did this to me but you know the majority of women are dying at the hands of men and women it's serious and I think we need to pay more attention to you know what's going on in in our households and and these women are crying out for help what would you like to see done in our government where laws our concern to kind of address this situation there needs to be stiffer penalties for for these type of crimes that's being committed against women I feel like if a man realizes that on the first offense I'm going to jail for a year he'll think twice yeah one of the things I'm sensitive about is that this is something that's been happening in African countries and other countries around the world for a long long time what would you say to those nations and those people who are in authority concerning what they need to begin to start doing for these women who have been abused for generations we really need to implement more programs in these cities so that these women I have somewhere to go because the first thing that you know the abuser does is you they isolate you and you're by yourself but what if we had somewhere that they know they can go a safe haven that they can call and talk to then we need to have more of those in Africa South Carolina Georgia I mean just everywhere yeah you know you say one thing and and as far as the preventive is concerned your self-esteem most of the time it will be responsible for the type of person you draw to you huh and when you have that young lady who was in search for significance and she's in search for value and you know and she can't find it then would you agree that this is the this is the type of personality that'll end up drawing somebody to her that will take advantage of her a lot to her use her and so we really need to get together on ways of how we can teach women and men how to value themselves and the self esteem that you display is gonna be like a magnet and it's gonna somehow another just does this attract people to you that will take advantage of the weakness that you show on would you agree with that or add to that oh yeah I I totally agree I'm a living living proof because that's just what happened to me and yeah that that is exactly how it goes I mean you you live and you you go through things and people people prey on your weaknesses they prey on those things and you know they'll run from strength they'll you know but just like just like myself and my story he knew and just like you know two or three others before him they knew that I was broken you know yeah so on a final note Sabrina what's the future look like for you oh it's my it's amazing it's amazing yes [Applause] I have four beautiful children five grandbabies and I travel I do everything I want to do I mean I my life is it's full there's no limits I don't I don't believe in limitations I wake up every day just being my best self loving on myself not taken for granted anything that that God has given me I am truly just blessed it I'm I mean I enjoy life every day everybody around me is like okay what's she gonna do next because I just I mean I will not let this define me and I refuse I have suffered this type of abuse you see on this broadcast today a woman who refuses to be defeated by the circumstance by the situation so in essence I make this announcement
