We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Chennetta Renae a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Chennetta, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
My 1st and only project to date thus far which was publishing my 1st book. It is meaningful to me because I always journaled and never thought about compiling my thoughts and putting them in a book until I was encouraged to do so by someone I had shared my story with. I am a survivor of Military Sexual Trauma and I journaled as a means of therapy to get how I was feeling out. I had began going to therapy and discovered that all of the years that I had gone without seeking treatment or even addressing what had happened to me that it was detrimental to my entire life.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Once I decided that I wanted to write a book I needed to find out how to do that. After talking to a few people I was put in touch with Torre Stocker of Red Pen Edits and Consulting who I decided to work with. I set up my LLC shortly after my book was finalized and I plan to start a podcast as well as book speaking engagements. I am most proud of my vulnerability and transparency. I believe that if I could reach one person that has a shared experience that I have made a small difference.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
That fact that I wrote and published a book about suffering MST Military Sexual Trauma during my time in the military and how I am still here despite suicide attempts and still coping with what has happened to me speaks to my resilience.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
Yes my goal is to help others to use their voice and to get the help that they need.
