Get the Hell Out!

By Martu E. Freeman-Parker

This book comes from a time in my life when I had to take a stand for my future. For years I felt like I was in a living hell. I was mastering the art of looking good in a career I didn’t love anymore. I had exhausted talking about what I needed to do; I just had to do it.

On this journey, I had to reflect on my past, who I was, and how I got here. I had to look at the highest and lowest points in my life. My journey was tough to do, but I had no choice. I was at a breaking point, and I made a choice to live to my fullest. The fashion industry was my life and still is, but I had to find out why it hurt so much to be in an industry I loved.

This book is the door opening to my new life. The title came from the words I kept repeating to myself day in and day out: “Get the hell out!”
