“Break the cycle of abuse - Don't believe you are trapped, you are stronger than you think.”
E'ala decided to break her silence after 3 women she personally knew were murdered by their boyfriends. Ashley Perala, Nadine Cavalier, and Gabby Petito. She is hoping by sharing this story, it could help someone else who might be in that position right now.
E'ala has escaped three abusive relationships throughout her life. At 15, she was in a relationship with an older man who was a drug addict and physically abused her. Even when she found the courage to leave, he lured her back in.
Her life took a turn when her mom was diagnosed with cancer. It led to a long-distance move ultimatley ending one abusive relationship and sadly beginning a new one.
