MICHELLE RENEE
Michelle Renee, is the author of "Held Hostage", national speaker and entreprenuer. My journey from abused teenage run-away to becoming one of the youngest Assistant Vice Presidents for one of the largest banks in the country was a rewarding and challenging climb. However, it was the devastating kidnapping of my seven-year-old daughter and myself in November 2000, the 14 hours of torment, both of us being taped with explosives while I was forced to leave her behind and taken at gunpoint to rob the vault of the bank I managed and the paralyzing aftermath that was the most horrifying, heartbreaking time of my life. It was only then that I realized I needed to confront myself, my past and embrace who I was meant to become. It was that life altering event that intensified my drive and determination to discover someone I had never really taken the time to get to know. Me. I was too busy running from everything: my abusive childhood, my mistakes, my divorce. It was time to finally embrace me, scars and all! Hostage No More!
