Today we’d like to introduce you to Brianna Kirkman.
Hi Brianna, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
When I was 16, I met a charming, attentive guy who handled business. Little did I know that I was in for a nightmare once I trusted him. I spent years recovering from my trauma, or so I thought. In 2017 a young lady went missing for months it made national news. To my surprise, the person in question was my abuser. I felt Monica Sykes had lost her life due to my silence. This took me back to a dark place I had known too well. I decided I was off balance and needed to find it again. Then I came up with I Am She Balanced to help women who have experienced trauma the way I have.
Would it have been a smooth road, and what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has been challenging due to my past. I’ve struggled to believe in myself and see how others see me. Knowing where to start is the biggest obstacle because helping others is a full-time job.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about I Am She Balanced?
My brand is about bringing women back into balance and taking our power back. We want to take away the shame of being abused. The more we talk about it, the more we can identify when it’s happening. We offer support groups, as well as some modern ways of therapy.
What are your plans for the future?
I’m looking forward to involving this program as a part of the courts as an alternative to prison. It will probably not be very easy, but I have high hopes for shelters and housing in the future. I would love to see I Am She Balanced on a global scale working with many other organizations. Being able to house women in different states would be the ultimate goal.
