PROTECT YOUR PRETTY

EPISODE 040: Monday, March 25th, 2019.

Valerie, known as V by most family and friends was born on the south side of Chicago in an Italian American family. She accepted Jesus as her savior at age 7.  Ultimately she felt lost and an outcast to her peers. She struggled with identity and fitting in, which always led to bouts of depression and anxiety.  In 2002 the passing of her Grandma lit a fire under her to seek God deeper than ever before and a desire to know her true identity and purpose.  She spent the following 16 years studying scripture, ministering and evangelizing.

In this episode, we discuss her personal story, how to know when God wants something for you vs. you wanting something for yourself, and advice she’d give millennials who want to make an impact in their community.
