The Power of Five

By La'shea Cretain

On October 3, 1996, La'Shea Cretain was shot five times by her ex-boyfriend. Then he turned the gun around, shooting and killing himself. La'Shea was only 18-years old at the time, with two young children. La'Shea's injuries were so severe that responding officers listed La'Shea as a 'victim'. But La'Shea was still very much alive. She fought her way back from a coma and walked back into her home just a few months later to hold her babies.

Even though she still has to live with all five bullets in her body, La'Shea chose to reclaim her power by naming each bullet after one of the five inner-strengths that gave her the will to survive and thrive - Faith, Fight, Forget, Forgive, Family. La'Shea's children Shayla and Donte inspired her to share her story eith the world. Her journey of transforming adversity into positivity will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with personal challenges.
