Levene's Bio: My personal experience is that of a drug addicted female, raped, abused, shot at, my friend was kidnapped, raped, & murdered at the age of 7, & I had fallen victim to all the worldly fears as a young female. By the Grace of God, I made it out alive & have been blessed to be transformed through faith. Professionally, I have over 15 years of sobriety and working with youth in drug addiction, juvenile justice and foster care. As a Licensed Therapeutic Foster Parent and Adoptive Parent, I bring a sense of empathy and support to teaching professionals in the fields of child welfare, drug addiction and criminal justice. I have been blessed with one birth son, a loving & supportive husband and trustworthy family and friends. An author of a newly released book called 'Let your lessons become your blessings', which motivates every person to declare that they are NOT a mistake, their abuse is NOT their fault, they HAVE a purpose, and there is HOPE. My mission is to assist people to heal from where they have been, accept where they are and motivate them to where they want to go. www.tinatalkstruth.com
