H2H: Claudia T. Nelson - Transforming Victims to Victors

Claudia’s conservative upbringing did little to prepare her for the violence and loss she has experienced in her life. Brought up to unquestioningly accept the wisdom of her elders and to place her fate in the hands of others, it took accidents, crime and health issues to wake her up and take control of her life and to understand she couldn’t survive all she faced by continuing to live in the world of thought others had created for her.
She began questioning the conventions of her society and her programming; she sought answers to questions that shouldn’t be asked. From an early age Claudia viewed the world differently than those around her; but wanting to fit in, kept those thoughts to herself.
A deep thirst for knowledge possessed her, driving her to study strange practices and religions in foreign lands.
Having more daunting personal experiences than any one human should be burdened with, her indefatigable curiosity about how others view the world, without blindly accepting their ideas as her own, built the strength needed to transform her victim self into a victor, then help others do the same.
