How would you live your life if you understood that every scar, trauma, or suffering can make you stronger and greater?

Rosemary Esehagu, who has studied psychology and medicine, has seen the damaging effects of having people's abuse or trauma speak for them. In her memoir, Out of the Cocoon: The Journey to Becoming, she shares her story of posttraumatic growth and offers a radical perspective on abuse. Despite encountering abuse as a child and racism and trauma when she immigrated to the US as a teenager, she has found her place and is living her purpose. She uses prose and poetry to express that we can overpower and repurpose others' harmful actions.
