Prison Cell

An intelligent, energetic, educated woman cannot be kept in four walls – even satin–lined, diamond–studded walls – without discovering sooner or later that they are still a prison cell.

—Pearl S Buck (via itsquoted)

My (ex) husband *Steve hated this about me. And I’m glad he did, but I don’t think he was prepared for me to grass him up, because apparently, no one else had. They just walked away, or supported him… namely his family. He/they seriously underestimated me.

I am by all means, not gloating, but I am proud of my achievements. If I had met *Steve before my wonderful experiences and education, I would never have had anything to fall back on. But I do.

At sixteen, I left school with grades A-C in the following subjects: Science One, Science Two, Business Studies, Media Studies, English Language and English Literature.

At nineteen, I left college obtaining the following: Classical Music, Media Studies and Performing Arts.

At twenty-two, I obtained my Psychology & Sociology (with Politics & American Studies) Bachelor’s Degree.

At twenty-eight, I took a short Journalism course, which I passed.

I have also been fortunate to travel – a lot over the years:

Spain (Ibiza, Gibraltar, Nerja) – Portugal (Algarve) – Jamaica (twice) – Singapore – Tunisia – Finland (Helsinki five times) – Brazil (Rio De Janeiro, Salvador) – Dominican Republic – France ( twice) – Italy (Milan) – Dubai – Czech Republic (Prague) – USA (Miami, Las Vegas, Tennessee, Montana, Savannah, Atlanta) – Belgium (Brussels) – Hong Kong – China – Greece (Rhodes) – Bahamas (Nassau) –  Turkey (Antalya) – Germany (five times).

My work history is extensive, ranging from office work, to acting/speaking roles in TV, Film, Commercials and Corporate Videos.

I have a lot to be grateful for. I have done so much, and no one can ever take that away from me. No matter how hard they try. 🙂

Actress/Model – A Little About Me

An actress/model for various agencies, I “fell” into TV & Film work (background) in 2008. It would be a little while until I received speaking roles, although I remain uncredited in any production I’ve ever been in. From British Soaps to Box Office films. From Commercials to Corporate Videos. Although I’m not famous, some roles were exhausting, non glamorous and the hours extremely long; whilst others were fabulous, glamorous with short hours. Either way, I loved my job.

I was able to chose when I worked, which happened to be most of the time. I rarely turned any job offer down. I was able to travel and keep a roof over my head in a Grade Listed building, plus run my convertible Smart car. I was out with friends a lot, meeting for lunch, dinner drinks. Life was good.

I gave it all up in March 2012 for the guy, the US soldier, who would ultimately try to grind me down to nothing, calling me ugly and raining blows on me, plus more during and after my pregnancy. This however, will be explained in-depth later on.
