BIOMy name is Tywanah, and my journey has been one of profound resilience and self-discovery. From the moment I entered this world, I've been fighting against the odds.
Born prematurely in 1975, both my mother and I faced a life-threatening situation. Her battle with pneumonia, coupled with a soaring fever, cast a shadow of uncertainty over our survival. Amidst this struggle, my biological father, a charismatic figure with a dark side, inflicted deep wounds upon me, leaving scars that would shape my life's path.
At the tender age of 15, I summoned the courage to confront the harrowing truth of my past, only to be met with abandonment by most of my family. Left to navigate the harsh reality of the NYC group home system, I found solace in becoming a mother at 18, albeit for reasons tainted by insecurity and societal pressures.
Despite enduring a tumultuous marriage and a debilitating car accident in 2004 that stripped away my ability to provide for my family, I persevered.
In 2020, I encountered yet another formidable adversary – a covert malevolent fourth-grade
teacher who relentlessly sought to undermine my spirit. His relentless attacks pushed me to despair, culminating in a desperate attempt to end my own life. However, amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged through the spiritual connection with my mother, who imparted her psychic gifts unto me.
Despite enduring profound loss and heartache, including the estrangement from my children, I've emerged with newfound strength and purpose. Empowered by the support of my ancestral lineage, spanning five generations, I've embarked on a mission to inspire others to shed the masks of societal expectations and embrace their true selves.
My story is one of resilience, bravery, and unwavering authenticity, and I am committed to sharing it boldly with the world.
Through this darkness, Black Butterfly Goddess was birthed, and is now a beacon of light for those who need unconditional love and support.
