Ruswin proudly supports Interantional Womens Day - this year guest speaker Stacey Currie spoke about her battle though dometic violence to her success as a business owner. An inspiring and motivational speech.
According to the usual script, Stacey should be living on the streets, in jail, on drugs or dead. She ticks all the boxes when it comes to risk factors, having experienced no mum throughout her life, bought up in housing commission, child sexual abuse, aged 13 and living in a shed, 15 and pregnant, 19 with 2 babies and homeless, 21 with 3 kids and living in a domestic violent relationship.
But remarkably Stacey managed to defy the odds in a spectacular way by getting up when everyone had counted her out. She has gone on to become a successful business owner and international speaker of acclaim.
Fast forward 10 years…

Stacey is now 36 years old and has five wonderful children, and a beautiful and supportive partner. She is an author, international speaker, and runs a successful business Brand Print Australia.
