BUILT DIFFERENT: THE COST OF SURVIVAL
A raw story of strength, sacrifice, and transformation.
Faye was never built to fold.
Before peace found her, survival was the only language she spoke. The streets tested her. Betrayal hardened her. Violence came close enough to take her life more than once — and still, she stood.
But strength has a cost.
As a young mother trapped between chaos and responsibility, Faye made the hardest decision of her life — to protect her son from the very world she hadn’t figured out how to leave. From jail visits to hospital beds, from distance to redemption, her journey wasn’t loud or glamorous.
It was real.
Built Different: The Cost of Survival is a raw, unfiltered story of resilience, sacrifice, and transformation. It is a tribute to mothers who fight battles their children may never fully understand — and proof that change is possible, no matter how deep the streets once had you.
Some people survive the fire.
Others become something new because of it.
