As the thunderous shouting in the background of the house intensified, Naomi Robinson ran into the woods to escape the noise and her mind.
Growing up Robinson had experiences within her childhood that many of her peers will never have to face.
“When I lived with my mom in Lafayette, her boyfriend at the time was abusive which caused a lot of hard times for me with school and my emotions,” Robinson said.
Once Robinson realized that she could use different ways to cope, she began to see a new light within nature as a way to hide away from the hard things in life.
