Meet Karen
Survivor. Nonprofit Founder. Champion for Kids. Entrepreneur

Karen was raised in a family where her father was not just sexually abusive, but mentally, physically and psychologically as well. Out of the 4 children, it was she that was the target, and as a result, her childhood was miserable. What she did, and how she managed to turn it around is inspiring.
