At nine days old, in the wee hours of the morning, Natalie’s cry awakened her young parents who noticed someone was in the home, causing them to avoid a fatal home invasion. A few weeks later, she moved to Queens, NY. It wasn’t long before her parents split and Natalie was raised as an only child by her single mother. As a latch key kid, Natalie had to brave the streets of NY on her own. As a habitual new kid, Natalie never seemed to fit in with her peers. She excelled academically but was constantly reprimanded for talking too much. Overwhelmed by environments filled with verbal and physical abuse, Natalie found solace in the arts. After gaining some stability at school, becoming the captain and MVP of the girls track team, Natalie’s home life became unbearable. At 16 years old, she decided to leave home.
