 The emotional, mental, psychological and physical damages of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault can be daunting. Intimate partner violence not only impacts the relationship but the relationships with your children and extended family as well. Although this can change the very fabric of our being and leave us confused, sometimes we find the courage to use these challenges to fuel our purpose. My guest this week did just that! Roweena Davis is a 20 year retired Army Veteran. She served as a victim advocate during her time in the Army Reserve and as a civilian, she is a senior HR Specialist for an Army Reserve Command. She is a part of Alpha Gamma Xi Military Sorority where she served as the program director for SWANS (Supporting Women and Nurturing Survivors) a resource that  supports survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.In July of 2020, she decided enough was enough with the "quiet" issues in the military with domestic violence and sexual assault; so she founded WE BELIEVE YOU SOS (Supporting our Survivors) to provide resources and awareness to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Since its inception, her and her team were able to host a virtual 5K for military survivors of sexual assault that raised more than $10,000 for "Protect our Defenders". They have also had the opportunity to serve as hosts of their first annual Healing Conference for Women as well as a panel discussion on helping men overcome trauma. She has been featured with several other organizations on Clubhouse to be able to continue to raise awareness to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault amongst military members, veterans, and military spouses. She also served as a guest panelist with PAVE (Promoting Awareness/Victim Empowerment) on their BIPOC episode of how sexual assault and domestic violence affects Black Indigenous People of Color.She is also a published author and assisted in giving her story of survival in Sisters in Arms: The Black Diamond Experience: Our Rise to Significance. In her chapter entitled “Good Enough,” she discusses her struggles of not feeling good enough which eventually led to many of her destructive relationships. She talks about her abusive marriage (both physically and mentally) and how she was able to finally leave everything behind and start new.Roweena frequently shares her story and trauma as she knows that not only will it helps other survivors in her shoes, but it has helped her with her healing journey.Grab a copy of her book on Amazon and support the We Believe you SOS organization.Consider sharing your story with  us.Email:   podcast@thecarybrand.com.

Women often spend alot of time on their hair to ensure it is perfect, glossy, healthy and just the way they like it.  But what happens if you lose all your hair? How do you face the world with such a public illness that everyone can see? How do you serve in the Military with a condition such as Alopecia. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease that forces the body to reject hair. My guest this week shared her journey of Glowing through this illness .Jazmin joined the Air Force a bit later than the average fresh from high school member.  One of the reasons for her delayed entry was discovering she had Alopecia.  4 years after losing her hair, she decided to live boldly as her true self and pursue her dream of serving our country. With the encouragement and support of loved ones, she did just that! Today she is happy and proud of who she is! With an amazing family, husband and fur baby mini poodle named Bubbles &  two birds Chico & Luna, this young Airman is bold and beautiful.

A mother of six, love is her superpower. Brandi is a Life Coach for veterans and a believer in the power of playing (which is evident in her signature tie-dye, well, everything).

Brandi was then invited back to be the life coach on set for another production – a reality show called “A Little Love”. You can reach Brandi for coaching, public appearances or speaking opportunities in the following ways: Phone 318-880-6871, Email: VeteransUnleashed1@gmail.com or you can follow her at @VeteransUnleashed or @CoachBrandi Miles on social media.

She completed 4 degrees while in the military among countless other accomplishments and accolades!.Tragedy struck the Gwendo household when she was told she has a terminal illness. The Air Force lost a great asset, leader & Airman when she had to medically retire from the military and  retire from the military and change her trajectory. .After enduring multiple surgeries, Crystal had to change her career path. She knew she wanted to continue to make a difference, so she entered the non-profit world. .Her commitment to excellence never faltered & is undeniable & she quickly rose to the top of her new organization! She is now the COO of an $11 million dollar company which ensures individuals and family reaches a level of self-sufficiency..If you had to take anything from Crystal's life, it's; Life will never work out how you planned it, make different plans, treat everyone with love and respect and get your education. .As the Great John Lewis said “Every generation leaves behind a legacy. What that legacy will be is determined by the people of that generation.”

An Executive order was recently signed to state  that all Americans who can meet military standards, regardless of gender identity, may serve in the U.S. armed forces. This is life-changing for many transgender troops already serving! One of those troops is a Guardian in the United States Space Force. Hailing from South Carolina, Sabrina Bruce was born a male and joined the US Air Force in 2013. She saw the Military as a very masculine thing to do and believed that serving would help with her gender identity concerns. Although her service was filled with career wins, she struggled with her gender identity until making the brave decision to start her transition in early 2017. This decision lifted a big weight off her shoulders until the “Transgender Ban” in July later that  same year.

Drinking can be a common pass time for many of us. Most people don't truly understand their relationship with alcohol and the long term physical, social, psychological or financial impacts. The Air Force recognizes alcoholism as a preventable, progressive, treatable, and non-compensable disease that affects the entire family. That simply means, help is available! One of the goals of The Air Force Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) program, is to minimize the negative consequences of substance misuse and abuse to the individual, family, and organization. Erica took the courageous step of self identifying that she needed help with alcohol use. That may at times have a negative stigma but she thrived through it all, continued to lead Airman, care for herself and family. Erica shows us that you can get help and have a successful career as she was recently selected for the rank of Senior Master Sergeant, the second highest Enlisted rank one can achieve in the Air Force.Erica has been active duty in the US Air Force for 20 years.

Do you call the baby ugly? Because being straightforward is viewed as negative, Women with strong personalities struggle significantly more in the workforce.  Are men with "strong" personalities labeled difficult, or are they praised for being confident and assertive? How do these Women thrive while being called rude, mean or worse?  As Nicole says it, the right Leaders view her personality as an asset and for her that's empowering. Nicole is open and willing to challenge the process and reminds us not to settle for the status quo.Check out her bio below.  Nicole has served in the US Air Force for 13 years. She is a wife of 11 years to a firefighter, the mom of two kids (aged 7 and 3), the caretaker of two obnoxiously high maintenance dogs, and a creator of things. She's a lot of things but outside of all the identifying nouns, her adjectives would be: Christian, introverted, creative, driven, detail oriented, organized, passionate, determined, and anxious (in no particular order).  Born in Massachusetts (Go Pats!) but  raised mostly in South Carolina, she  currently lives in  San Antonio. She loves all things artistic and does a lot of it herself, excitedly bringing her kiddos in to do it with her any chance she gets. When she's not hyper-vigilantly watching small children use art supplies, she loves to read and watch tv shows with her husband that lets her get out of her very busy head. Just like most full time working moms, wives, and Airmen – she's just trying to balance it all, one spinning plate at a time.   *Want to share your story or get our insight on any topic that impacts you the military woman, email us at camobeautystories@gmail.com.
