Something Nubian

Sending positive inner-G to MoVegan

I did a deep dive on a situation that happened in Savannah, Georgia before the New Year. I decided to write about this because there was very little coverage about it on the news.

Each time I see something about domestic violence, I pray for them, as I am a domestic abuse survivor myself.

Quite frankly, I only sent a Facebook request to her in late 2021, because I wanted to start becoming one of her patrons. She and I do not run in the same circle, and do not know each other, but she sold a vegan plate that I had the pleasure of eating and it was absolutely delicious, especially her cornbread and mac ‘n cheese!

But then someone she once cared for tried to stop her shine.

One day I saw a bunch of posts tagging her saying “come back, your children need you!” People were posting almost daily and it sort of became a story I followed especially because she had just posted a video the day before or so about her hanging out with her dad. I thought it was funny and I remember thinking they looked like they were having a good time!

No one knew if she would live or die, but they were praying for the best. Her posts went silent and then ……

I saw the green light next to her name one day, my eyes popped open with joy and tears because the first post I saw, I learned was not her first!

She was back to tell her story….

I’m a REAL ONE! Always been! So I’m no longer gonna expect that REAL Authenticity! From none of these fake, Shallow, Ghetto, “Mean in Spirit”, Envious, Hateful, non talented people no more…I am who I am and I only have control over me!!!

in the words of my Father “If I was a Weak Bitch! I would’ve been a Dead Bitch”!

MoVegan: S/O to my Entire Trauma Team at Memorial hospital. Dec 11th I was left for dead. Someone tried to disfigure me and end my life by attacking me 12+ times In the face and head with a 9 Millimeter Chopper. I lost so much blood I had to get several blood transfusions. I was so badly attacked CSI came to take pictures of me because they thought I was shot #1 and I’d be dead soon. They are the only ones with those pictures. For my face I was given magnificent plastic surgery One of my fingers is completely metal because they couldn’t save my bone. I have a Feeding Tube, A wired Jaw because my mouth was broke in 5 places. My Trachea wound is healing. Staples are still in my head I had to learn to walk again Was in memorial for about 30 days In a Coma for 16 days Im here tho 🌱 Thank you to EVERYONE that prayed for me. Literally everyone. You all, God and my will to live is why I’m here today. But in the words of my Father “If I was a Weak Bitch! I would’ve been a Dead Bitch”! January 22 2023 This was a post shared and commented by so many Ladies/ gentlemen listen to MoVegan MiyannasCurl Williams testimony don’t wait to late to let go of domestic violence relationship. love don’t hurt❤❤🙏🏾

And out of her hurt she was able to still focus on being a mother

She posted: My baby want a DJ Marshmallow Themed Party and that’s what he’s gonna get! Mama was in a whole Coma when your birthday 12/12 came around but that’s okay! Your party will be lit 🥰 Even under heavy sedatives: Y’all listen that MEDICATION 💊 was MEDICATING 💊💊🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Her posts came to let many know she was going to be vocal:

I’m strong and all but boy when those flashbacks come back and that nightmare replays in my mind all late in the night and early in the mornings. I feel the need to block attacks that don’t exist. I feel Angry, Helpless and fearful. I feel the blood pouring from my face and the strikes again. I know I got a lot of prayers to live but man just day by day it’s a lot. God help me. Grandma my Angel I know you can help me 🥲 Got these all throughout my head because I had so many staples….Had to get a lot hair cut as well. It’s also just falling out….Idc man I’m gonna bring awareness to this… Feeding Tube Patients I got you to. I have one as well. We can’t be ashamed of this. It’s life we can’t think about death… we already beat that so we gotta live on with our head held high regardless of the circumstance.

She even wanted people to know how others were important to her:

I’m not being nasty professional mode shows no comments to me until hours later so I can’t reply at first.

Many were happy to show support in this journey like:

“So I can’t tell my story bc you played a shitty part in it?” #NikkiWhiteSaidIt MoVegan MiyannasCurl Williams is a Testimony to Women who have suffered Domestic Violence. She is Alive today to TELL HER STORY and help another woman GET OUT! Leave her alone and let her speak 🗣 #letsbeclaire

She says in one post:

Trauma will make you turn over a new leaf 🍀 I had a cousin that worked at Memorial on the Trauma floor one day she came to my room and said “I know when you heal you gone cuss them people out that’s been saying stuff” I said no girl I’m a changed woman! She said “When you changed” ? I said Shit when that nigga tried to kill me 🤣🤣🤣 She thought that was the funniest but I was serious. Man ion fuss, fight, cuss, nothing no more. That was the old me!

She was too busy compartmentalizing:

Feeding Tube Files… Prayerfully it’ll be off soon Was gonna show y’all how it works lol but I ain’t felt like all that ni. This so no feeding tube patients won’t feel lonely shit MoVegan got one to shit! I made sure I didn’t show Big Bertha down there to ☺ Big Bertha special lol And 90% of feeding Tube/Wired Mouth patients lose 10-20 lbs. I’m 95 pounds right now.

And telling her story as they popped in her mind:

Today is a beautiful day🌱 My mouth has been wired shut since I was in a coma. I have not eaten food since December 10,2022. His(The Surgeon),exact words “Your procedure was so different I really wanted to put plates in your mouth but I tried my hardest to fix your jaw Monique it was broken in 5 places and a very complex job” I’m getting this wired Jaw off! Prayerfully 🙏🏾

Especially of the many things her abuser is probably taking for granted right now:

You’d thought I had major surgery again how they did me today….Man I’m high. No regular foods in 2 weeks. Only soft foods but I’m hurting so bad I can’t even eat! Like I pray i can at least eat by Sunday(Mashed Potatoes, Pudding, ect)

But she is moving on and finding humor while others are still in disbelief

🫢 I gotta wait for that. I doubt my boy wanna fuck a Cripple ♿ “Me” lol …. You know how a dude come to ya house and sit down his pistol. I gotta sit down the Cane 🦯 and medication bag 💊🤣

A friend posted:

Good afternoon….as you all know our friend MoVegan MiyannasCurl Williams still has a long road ahead with her recovery….along with her 3 kids (sons 4, 6, and her daughter is 10). But from her mouth being wired shut, feeding tube still implanted, constant headaches, weak (she hasn’t eaten food since December before the domestic incident) and other health related issues…she has bad headaches throughout the day..and has problems seeing at times….if you would like to be a blessing to her….any donations can be sent to: $MoVegan1 / Once she recovers she’ll be back selling dinners, and her creative art pieces as she always has to provide for her children. Thanks in advance. #domesticviolencesurvior #domesticviolenceawareness #domesticabuseawareness #domesticabuserecovery

What I love is, she is not playing the victim or small, just being her self in a new light:

So I did remember me having to learn how to walk again…But I didn’t remember me having to learn how to write ✍🏾 . My mother just gave this to me yesterday. I don’t remember this at all. But yes Y’all I had to learn how to W R I T E and communicate again. I done became such a blood Diamond 💎 through this situation I don’t cry or feel saddened as much but mannn. This is deep because I’m a whole artist that couldn’t vocalize nor articulate, write out, nor draw what I meant or felt because i was that messed up. You talking bout somebody that’s GRATEFUL for life! 😩 I’m so grateful and again boy if I ever did or said anything to anybody before this incident that wasn’t cool please forgive me. I wasn’t as wise as I am now or more careful with my words how I am now. I am a new Monique. A better Monique! A Monique that had to learn how to walk, read, talk and write at the age of 28 lord have mercy. I’ve been in lots of pain this past week I just wish a can shout, stomp and rejoice because Wow just wow! #2ndChanceAtLife I literally had to learn it all(How to Walk,Write,Talk,) again…. My life is not a game! This my 2ndChanceAtLife!!!

Many will know her name real soon, as she states:

My life been book worthy…However, December 11th took the cake..So my story is officially coming 📖. My book will not be solely for sales but to shed a light on my life and a situation that almost ENDED ME! To help battered women! Give them confidence, the game and knowledge As a survivor. Let the public know what I have been dealing with honestly since the age of 16 years old. Letting them know how the justice system is not always for you(Every 911 call I ever made the officers turned against me. There was never an arrest made but I always informed them how afraid I was. The system failed me for years) I got a lot of game that’s gonna help a lot of sisters. That’s why I’m here. Literally why I’m alive to raise my children and to help battered women. #ThatsIt #ThatsAll

Like many others, life with family is not like the Huxtables, she mentions her folks:

F.Y.I. Nomatter what was said about my parents. “NOBODYS PERFECT” but neither one. My mother or father left my side. It was lots of days my daddy couldn’t stand to see me like that but he sat by me. He tried to talk to me and understand me. When I got out of the Coma I was trying to fight the nurses really the entire staff…so they had to restrain me because I would rip all of the cords off me. My mother was there and had to endure that. I am their child. So regardless of how they handled anything there was several times I could’ve died. Try not knowing if your child will live or die everyday and tell me how “Regular” you act. Yes I am grown but I was their baby Monique from the time I was almost beat to death until now! My parents love me and through this we have gained somethings that can’t be bought my mother and I as well. But especially my daddy. We have truly been through the worst and still standing. Not many Father Daughter Duos can even fathom what we went through🌱 I love you both. And if I need to put either one of my parents on my lap and “Pop pop” lol that’s MY BUSINESS. My siblings all of them were so concerned my eldest sister Shavonda and brother Louis even came to see me. S/O to my bonus sister Kimaya as well! I can’t really remember that well 😩😩😩 but I thank them so much. And I know my baby Louise my youngest sister would have came if she wasn’t in the military! I love all of you

And she is pushing through:

This hasn’t been my week at all🌱 but one thing about it “I’m here”. Can’t get no better than that. The pain will go away Getting back to normal, is normal – The fact that my facial swelling has gone down. It’s still swollen ni like from the inside out lol however I’ll be fine soon. And Idgaf about these ball spots somebody LACE ME! I want a Natural looking Fringe Bang Bob cut ! And my weight ima put it back on when I’m able to! I’m 95 pounds but I’ve NEVER been over 115 so I got 20 lbs to gain and I’ll be slim thick again! 2/14/94 is my birthday. But honestly my new birthday is When my life was almost taken and I LIVED! 🥰 People forget my grandmothers name was “PaTricia Ann Devette Brunson” Baby I am Protected! By God #1 because I’ve always felt regardless of my flaws I am a Chosen Pure Vessel. I’ve always felt one with God! And #2 my grandmother who was the most important person in my life. I took care of her and held her in my arms when she died. I don’t believe In death per say. But transitions….When she passed I developed Strength I never knew was possible. It was all from her 🌱 Getting back to the way things were may seem far away but it starts in the mind: I’m gonna try to paint 🎨 tonight lol Lord guide these hands and my strength! I need assistance with BOTH! If I finish the piece and I deem it a masterpiece 🖼 I will sell it🌱 But then dealing with the aftermath Had to get escorted out of court because my detective giving the judge my injuries was too much for me to handle and I spazzed but BOND DENIED!!!!!!!!!! I faced my attempted killer today! Haven’t seen him since he made the attempt! But yeah BOND DENIED Lil bruh!!!!!! #Winning

These days she is reflecting and growing A Human Being…

You have real emotions. A real heart. Real blood pumping through your veins. Your intent might be to do the right thing, but that doesn’t always happen. Life is unpredictable. A lot is not guaranteed. So all you can do is “Try” and if you fail it’s okay. Doesn’t make you less than a person to have a failure. You simply use that failure as a lesson for the future. That’s all you can do.

But there is very little she will be forgetting:

If you never was Beat with a gun in your skull until you had gun fragments all in your brain! And almost bled to DEATH!! I don’t want to hear no opinions!!!!! I do joke alot but my feeding Tube is out! I had it for almost 3 months! Really probably over 3 months! It was causing me so much pain! But this is one less pain! I thank God! And like I said don’t be ashamed if you have a feeding tube, Trachea, Whatever! It happens to the best of us and it’s nothing to be ashamed about! If you are going through a trial it’ll get better just hold on. Keep the faith and remember who YOU ARE on the inside. I only speak my wisdom from my experience! Remembering who I was helped me on my darkest days. I’m no perfect person but I can give to the world what was given to me! And that’s mental and spiritual strength! And Hope that “One day” it’ll all get better Oh and I’m 101 lbs which means I’ve gained 6 pounds! I was just 95 lbs 2 weeks ago🥰 I don’t care who tired of hearing about me or me giving updates. Just Block me…I love getting blocked lol I ain’t gone lie I’ve Never agreed with that Posting ya Cashapp for your birthday crap…That’s just me but ima let y’all know NOW! This birthday I will have it up! I need to start on my NonProfit for battered women! Unfortunately I physically can’t work like that right now so hey if it’s some people that’ll like to support my nonprofit you can! You’ll definitely see where your donations have gone! I have a lot of work to do and people to help! $MoVegan1 is my CashApp🌱 So one of my Favorite cakes is a Authentic Tres Leches Cake…I want one for my birthday but do I have any real Mexicans on my Timeline? Lol That sounds so bad but I’m foreal 😂 I’ll pay ni! I know exactly where I’m going with this nonprofit! As a Artist 👩🏽‍🎨 one thing I know how to do is bring Any & All visions to life! Exactly how I see it In my head and heart ❤ We gone have DV kits and all! Like man I see it clear as day! One thing I LOVED in the hospital well about the only thing lol That Apple Juice 🧃 it was so good to me!

This was another post she shared:

I never wanted a new person. I just wanted MY person to get it together 😩… But instead I had to get Bopped all them times with the STRAP 😂 I got Mfs mad at me cuz I almost died!!!! Sick and Twisted!!!!!!!!

In her FaceBook story she screen shot what she is dealing with. People send her private messages threatening her; claiming they don’t care about what has happened to her 🙄

This girl said “It’s 3 SIDES TO A STORY” But the MF TRUTH is I was attacked for NO REASON OUT OF ANGER WITH A 9 milimeter Chopper…He went crazy and crashed out and tried to kill me daddy as well!!!I really do HATE THEM AND ANYONE AFFILIATED BECAUSE WHY AM I ARGUING 5 In the morning about a situation that ALMOST KILLED ME!!!

Those that care for Mo are weighing in the comments, letting her know they have her back:

Ion even know you like that … but give me the word … and I’ll steal all her ear ring backs for you … (something to make you laughing)

Seriously don’t let anyone get to you.. you’ve survived the unthinkable.. we are proud of you .. the love you have from this city is like 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾😍.. keep being great

And she tries to get on with her life and still ….

My birthday in 4 days! I’m looking forward to that! God bless these folks that are trying to slander my name after everything I been through but that’s okay…They gone need the blessings more than me 🥰. I’m going to continue to heal and try my hardest to help battered women like I said! And I will! The Bible says the Enemy comes to Kill, Steal and destroy oh AND LIE! I wasn’t killed so the other stuff commenced. It’s okay tho. I’ve ALWAYS been favored! Always been beautiful, Talented, and regardless of what I’m a fighter I will get back to the Monique I use to be nahh really greater! The enemy don’t like it but it is what it is. I’m preparing my table of wealth and success In the presence of my enemies….That’s it! That’s that!

I apologize whole heartedly for everything today…What Michelle Obama said When those go low. You go high. I have head Trauma that gives me headaches. It makes me angry. I know that Family didn’t intentionally want him to do me how he did me but it happened. No ones to blame but him…I don’t hate anyone. I have no ill Will to anyone. I’m just hurt man and I’m human. This pain is real and everyday won’t be my day. All I can do is strive to be a better human being the next day. I don’t want beef. I don’t desire any disagreements. Almost losing my life gave me a different outlook! It unfortunately will always be different and some days it won’t be the best for me but I’ll continue to try.

Trying to move on for her isn’t easy, it’s as though she is experiencing everything all at once like ‘mom brain’, she posts:

I need to purchase 3 Children’s Valentine’s Day baskets. 1 for a 10 year old girl. 2 for boys age(6 & 4) please help someone lol

She says:

“I’m healing everyday…I will be(If I have the strength) starting back work in a month. Work for me is my painting, my customizations and you already know the food because IM MOVEGAN! lol but all my real and True customers! Text my number XXXXXXXXXX! I’m gonna get you in so you all will be notified first! I’ll be back taking bookings, catering, outfits etc. literally everything!”

Listed above is MoVegan’s work and Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Mushroom Strips

I have had the pleasure of tasting a dish or two. I am happy to see that she is looking forward to better days and getting back to work.

Today the world is celebrating Valentine’s day while she is celebrating her bday:

I really couldn’t have saw this day if I didn’t make it…Well I couldn’t have seen the next day, hour or second after that happened to me. Man Happy Earthday To me…I’m my Own Valentine’s 🥰

Why did I feel the need to share her story and it wasn’t mine to tell?

Because I too am a Domestic Abuse Survivor and I was not as bold as her. I thought she deserved some FLOWERS. I am rooting for her. I admire her heroism and transparency.

I kept it to myself when it happened to me.
