Ayleen felt she had to make a radical choice between victimhood or becoming a beacon of female empowerment for herself and others. After what became four years of misery, Ayleen decided not only to tell her story, but chose to make radical changes in her own life. She quit her job in high-end fashion retail, started to write down her story in what will soon be her first book and is inspiring young women around the world through media appearances, her appearance in Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talks being one of her personal highlights. Her experiences prompted Ayleen to make her life-long entrepreneurial dreams come true, as she is now launching her own wine label and lifestyle brand.
