Author - Latifah Hameen
Arlington, TX (BlackNews.com) - Latifah Hameen has published a book entitled, Suffering In Silence: Breaking the Cycle of Abuse that is now available for purchase. She opens up her life and shares 20 years of abusive relationships. This is a self-help book geared mostly toward teens and young adults, 14-21 years old, to educate them on the abusive relationships cycle. This is her passion and contribution toward an effort to a better society.
Ms. Hameen has been an educator and trainer for the past 15 years. She has taught elementary through college age students. She expresses her creativity through her poetry. Although she is a successful and educated woman, she is an example of the modern day abused woman who suffered in silence. She lived on and off in abusive relationships. By writing her story and opening up her life, she hopes to be able to help others identify the cycle of abuse early enough to save them from the pain and suffering she'd had to endure. She is divorced and has two adult sons. She contributes her success to God's continuous guidance in all of her endeavors in life.
Ms. Hameen is also the founder of Healthy Positive Choices (HPC) a newly formed agency used as a preventive tool in educating teens and young adults on the growing problem of teen relationship abuse. This is something that isn't talked about much. It isn't easily identified because it's so subtle. Abuse comes in all kinds of forms disguised as love. There is so much pressure put on teens today to behave in certain ways and to accept relationship abuse as a normal part of life. HPC wants teens to become aware of the signs of relationship abuse, whereby understanding that abuse is not love, but destructive to the total being.
Ms. Hameen grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with 10 brothers and sisters. She obtained her Associate of Arts Degree at Milwaukee Area Technical College, Bachelors of Science Degree at University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Masters of Arts Degree at Amber University in Garland, Texas. She attended Hands on Therapy School of Massage and is a registered Massage Therapist with the State of Texas. She currently resides in Arlington, Texas.
