My special guest, Cici Owen explains how rejection, abandonment, and abuse ruled her life early on. Abandoned by her mother, harassed and tormented for being biracial in the ghettos of Newark, and abused from one dysfunctional home to another. Cici shares with us the dark days of her journey, the desire to be loved in a world where she wasn't, and her transformational, acquired virtues (beyond self-defense) learned from martial arts.
