Today, I have the pleasure and honour to share a space with Justin and Alexis Black,  Authors of  \\u2018Redefining normal:  How two foster children beat the odds and discovered healing, happiness, and love\\u2019.

\\n

Alexis and Justin both grew up in the foster care system.  They met at college on a scholarship program for foster youth  At first, their past traumas and their age difference conspired to complicate their attraction. But the joy each took in the other eventually conquered those obstacles.  They managed to defy the odds, get healthy, and build a new life together.

\\n

Guided by hope and a sense of purpose, as well as a desire to help others who have similarly suffered, they learned to reject the abusive patterns of their past, thereby breaking the cycle of generational violence and neglect.

\\n

Since writing their book,  their world has opened up, and are now embracing their entrepreneurial journey, supporting other people in breaking generational patterns and creating a life they would love to live.
