Homeless Fortune is a powerful and emotional story of survival, identity, and resilience.
Madam never imagined that her life would lead her living in a tent on the sidewalk. From working full-time trying to build a successful future, her life unraveled when post-traumatic stress disorder made it impossible to continue full-time employment. At the same time, she is navigating the deeply personal journey of transitioning from male to female in a world that does not offer understanding, acceptance, or compassion. With her employment gone and financial stability slipping from her grasp, Madam becomes homeless. Suddenly, the American Dream looks very different.
Instead of enjoying the beaches, she finds herself sleeping on the sand. Madam experiences fights, assaults, hunger, fear, and discrimination. But even in the darkest of moments, Madam's heart refused to give up. Through tears, mistakes, heartbreak, and trauma, when giving up seems easier than continuing, Madam begins to understand that her circumstances do not define her. She is more than the job she lost. More than the tent where she sleeps. More than the trauma inflicted upon her.
She is a woman.
She is a survivor.
And she is here.
