!!!!!!I"M JUST ME!!!!!!

Who are you?

I'm just me. Chanel Dionne. The Daughter of a King on a journey of discovery and embracing life more and more each day. I'm also a single mother of 3 beautiful kids. I'm a writer, I love to speak, and I love to encourage and uplift people. I'm born in Texas and currently still reside there but plan to one day make Florida one day a home for me and my family. Not sure what part of Florida just yet! lol..... Who am I really? Honestly, I'm still figuring it out myself........


Why did I start blogging?
I initially started blogging to share my celibacy journey with the world. I come from a background of abuse and many other things and in 2012 I made the decision to taking control back over my life. One of the biggest decisions was to start saying "NO" to men and "YES" to God. I lost a friend that same year to HIV and it just really challenged me to start living with integrity and heal from my past wounds instead of allowing them to define me. Since a lot of women like me with my background don't speak up much or have a voice I decided to rise up for women/ girls like me to show them and myself that it's possible to live again after pain.

Who is my blog for?
I would say that my blog is for women who want to be encouraged, uplifted, and challenged to be more. I chose the name break away because I honestly feel that in order for you to become ALL you can and should be it takes BREAKING AWAY from your normal. I am a Christian and I do share and exercise my faith openly on my blog but I don't discriminate in any way shape or form. We don't have to agree on all things in order to respect and love one another. So my blog is open to ALL. Even men could be challenged by the things I share on my blog.

What is something that I've been working on lately that I'm really proud of?
I've been working on my first book! I'm really really excited and nervous about it all at the same time. I'm a survivor of Human Trafficking and I will be sharing my own personal experience of being in the sex industry and working under the control of a pimp and how I got away. it's title "Lost Girl Saved by Grace"

What is one message that you hope people will take away from your blog?
I hope that from my people will see that there is still HOPE for anybody and any situation!!!

Thanks for reading!! God Bless!!!!

Human Trafficking Awareness Month "A Survivor shares her story"

I had my first pimp at the age of 21. When people hear pimp they see a guy in a pimped out suite wearing gators and driving an old school Cadillac. LOL I have to laugh. Maybe in the old days but I’m talking about 21 st  century pimps. They rock true religion, Gucci, Louie, Prada, and the list goes on. They live in golf courses communities, beach front homes, middle class neighborhoods, and all. I’ve met pimps who own their own recording label, travel with goons and an entourage, and even had a training for the newbies. I’ve seen pimps be called boyfriends and husbands instead of pimp to please the woman. Then I get the question “how could you fall for a pimp?” Before I answer the question I need you to be willing to be open minded. Keep in mind this is my story my life my walk and the experience I had. I’m not sharing this to be justified or to be liked or felt sorry for. I’m justified through Christ and that’s all I need. I will try my best to be as transparent and honest ...

#EndItNow Men, you want to know how you can end slavery? Particularly sex trafficking?  Learn to value and respect the women and girls in your life.  If you don't a pimp will.  I was sexually exploited by a pimp at the age of 21... Sometimes people find it surprising but I don't.  Contrary to what you may read about pimps or traffickers my first pimp was actually really nice. Well, in the beginning.  By the age of 21 I had met many different men in my life from personal relations, at the job, church, and etc... My pimp was the first guy that actually listened to me and seemed to value me as an individual instead of a commodity or just a piece of a** like most of the other guys I encountered. He actually seemed to care! How ironic does that sound because he would end up being the one who in return sexually exploits me....... When he started changing and becoming like the men in my life I just put it in my mind that ALL men were like t...

What's Your Valley?

The sermon today at church was entitled "walking in the valley" and the scripture was  Psalm 23:4 King James Version (KJV) 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. I knew the Lord was speaking right to me. But what's your valley? What's your struggle right now that you just can't seem to get past? Is it school, a relationship, job, a bad habit you can't break or maybe your working toward entrepreneurship. Maybe you're single but feel that your ready for a relationship and God hasn't answered your prayers just yet. Maybe you feel a bit discouraged or think God has forgotten about u. Maybe you have slipped away from God and desire to come back to him but feel he won't listen or maybe you feel your too far to even know God. Today I want to relay a message to you. The devil is a big fat LIAR and God is in your midst even in your darkest ...
