While my marriage was falling apart, the people I confided in were busy stealing millions from me

To say Rose Ntongondu of Makeup By Rose is strong would be an understatement !!
She is brave. To be honest, not everyone would pull themselves from the hole she’s been in.
From having the people closest to her steal millions from her business, a husband that took advantage of her for years, battling depression in front of her two kids, to rebuilding her life, Rose’ testimony will both challenge and inspire you at the same time
May we be stronger regardless of the storms

It's until I started picturing myself dead and living my kids behind undercare of a narcissist... I gathered my energy and moved out. I wish I could speak out to all women there....that your life is more important in real without faking it. Am now a happy single mother 3yrs now but I swear it's better alone.

I watched the Joyce Gituro interview, I took a major career step. Today am watching this interview, another journey God is leading me into. At a young age, I recall telling God I do not want to ever get married. Why? I looked around, watched TV programs went to high school and there was one similar case, MEN ARE ABUSING WOMEN. All my High School set books portrayed men as evil. I choose to be vessel to train men how I was raised, to be loving, ready to provide, protect everyone, be proud of self and most importantly serve God with all heart and soul. Team LNN may God abundantly bless you and use you.

I really loved this one Lynn. Rose is truly a power-woman, she faced adversities head on and she came out on top. Speaking about it is not easy, but truly, she has no idea how helpful she has been. Even in the work place, you can find very bad colleagues who would do anything to get on top, and trying to destroy you means they can truly know your worth just like those trolls. Let her light keep shining bright.

Rose thanks for your story. Your story is an eye opener to so many women out there. Looks like your were properly parented hence the reason, you, unknowingly made men in your life see a weakness in you by coning you. From today, please avoid giving men money. A man getting money from a woman misconceives that to mean you are desperate for him. You are awesomely beautiful for anyone to imagine you can be desperate for them. That man that used threats on you to manipulate you was cheap and by all means not man enough. When you reach that point, seek help both for your mental wellness and for your security. Rose you are incredibly beautiful in heart and looks. God loves you more. Keep holding His hand to the end. Lynn, this guest has thought many business people a lot just like hard working women will love her snippets of wisdom especially those that are in abusive relationships.
