S2E19: Janae Sergio:Perfectly Flawed-A Veterans Journey from Homeless to Hero

Today we are blessed to be joined by Emma from The Imagination Podcast to interview one of the most bad ass women we know.  Janae Sergio is a survivor,  mom, wife,  Navy veteran, philanthropist, fashion entrepreneur, and  social media motivator.

At age 16, Janae was dropped off at a homeless shelter in Hollywood, California by her mom.  She spent the next 2 1/2 years surviving.  Janae moved from various shelters, finding herself in situations that could have completely changed her life.    She spent those years avoiding attempts to lure her into drug addiction and the sex trafficking industry.  Her strength, tenacity, and wherewithal  at the young ages of 16, 17, and 18 is heroic and brave.   

At 19, Janae joined the Navy and was quickly thrust into battle after the events of 9/11.   She is a Combat Navy Veteran who was amongst the first group of service members to be forward deployed aboard the USS John C Stennis one month after the 9/11 attacks to kick off Operation Enduring Freedom.

Janae is now married for 15 years with two beautiful daughters.  Her life is far from easy, but she has used her life experiences to build a thriving fashion business and speak up for those who's voices are not always heard.  She is a strong voice for the voiceless, and we are thrilled to have her share her life story with us.
