I left my marriage because of this event...
August 2021 changed my life...
Stale gist but might still be relevant.
I first attended GLS in 2019 before I received a visa to study abroad.
I wished that one day, I could make my dream of attending in person a reality.
It could not have been possible if I didn’t secure full funding to study abroad. It wasn’t difficult to attend as a volunteer in 2021, as I was already resident in the United States and earning in USD.
I attended the GLS ‘21 as a volunteer in a state of confusion.
After my birthday celebration on May 31st 2021, I was confused about my marriage.
I was mostly confused because I was afraid of judgment.
I was afraid of how to “voice” out to everyone, that I wanted to end my marriage.
But attending GLS ‘21 gave me the courage to do so.
It wasn’t the fact that I attended the event. It was something at the event.
My heart was racing very fast as he was speaking.
My heart kept racing fast. It didn't stop.

Leaving a toxic marriage or relationship has never been easy for anyone, speaking from experience.
Despite the fact that my ex-husband was abusive sexually, physically, emotionally, financially I still stood my ground fighting for the marriage. I almost became a shadow of myself. This guy would leave me in the house to go stay with his ex-girlfriend yet I would never have a courage to face him.
Thank God for using his mother. His mother became threatened about my progress, my financial growth and would be telling me son that I'm a Jezebel and should never allow me to rule or correct him. One day, she threw me out that her son no longer needed a wife.
I left in tears and promised them that I would do everything possible to be successful in life. His mother made that mistake of throwing me out not knowing that's what I needed. She later cried tears begging me to come back that it was the devil but I love the devilish mistake anyway.
