Today we’d like to introduce you to Rose Bass.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
While I was guilty looking for God’s eternal love in the domestic violence relationship I found myself in. His everlasting love pulled me out of that deadly season I should have perished in. My name is Rose Bass. I am a domestic violence survivor and advocate. I had the amazing opportunity to work with the Marsy’s Law committee here in Atlanta, Georgia. As a woman well acquainted with grief, I have endured great sufferings and tumultuous storms. God’s grace empowers me to live through trials and beyond tribulations in my life. As an overcomer, I am truly a vessel of prayer, faith, strength, and perseverance. A few months ago, I released part 1 of my 1st testimonial book entitled WiTH MY HEAD LiFTED UP. I’m truly excited about the assignment of my testimony. Living through and beyond this season has qualified me to help other young girls and women come out of abuse victoriously. My voice is for every victim of domestic violence. Past, present, and potential victims. I bought some valuable lessons in this season of my life that taught me a lot. Purchasing these lessons through pain are knowings I won’t ever forget. If lives are saved through the abuse I suffered, the tears I shed, the pain I endured, and the trauma I encountered, then it was all worth it.
WiTH MY HEAD LIFTED UP details the dangers and consequences of me living in God’s permissive will versus abiding in his perfect will. In this book, I share the ramifications I suffered as a result of me not addressing my unhealed hurts, unmet needs, and unresolved issues that were barricaded in my broken soul. Withholding nothing, I lay bare the good, bad, and ugly experiences I endured being in a domestic violence relationship for almost ten years. This book also expounds on the many miracles that God supernaturally performed in my life. With my heart opened wide, I truthfully share my story for the glory of God. I believe sharing it will bless many people that are searching for love in the wrong people, places, and things as I once did. Its assignment will remind them that God loves us with everlasting love.
WiTH MY HEAD LiFTED UP was birthed out of excruciating agony, bitter betrayals, great grief, and intense suffering. Besides allowing my voice to be heard, the dynamism of this book is to raise awareness and bring an end to the epidemic of domestic violence. It is to cry aloud and spare not against the 7-fold domestic violence offenses. I believe WiTH MY HEAD LiFTED UP will bring help, hope, and healing into the lives of many victims that are living in the “deadly reality” of domestic violence. My abuser planned evil against me, but God used my violator’s same plans for his glory and for my good! He put me in this position and placed me on this platform to save the lives of many people. You will learn lessons from my experiences to apply to your own life or to share with someone else for their personal benefit. It is my prayer that God uses WiTH MY HEAD LiFTED UP as a vehicle to snatch victims out of the dangerous traps of toxic, unhealthy, and domestic violence relationships.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
This road called life has not been all brownies with vanilla ice cream. I have experienced great disappointments from people that presented themselves as if they were for me. I know what it feels like to be homeless and treated like nothing when you temporarily live under someone else’s roof. For many years I had to sleep in my car. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and bathed in buckets using cases of bottled water. There were many times I had to wash up in grocery stores restrooms, inside of parks restrooms, and libraries restrooms.
I remember days when I had to get off work late and arrive at work early just to bathe in the private restroom. I have had to suffer due to loving someone that repaid me evil for my good. I’ve had to overcome not feeling good enough. Wondering why I was born because of the traumas I endured throughout my life. Nevertheless, I have always believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I stand on Jeremiah 29:11. The Lord declares to me these words of promise. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. I stand on the promises of God. Having a relationship with him and trusting his word have me where I am today. I forgot to mention that I also designed a faith-boosting playing card game. The Promise Playing Cards can be purchased on my website at www.rosebassglobal.org. Lastly, I also sell t-shirts on my website. My struggles gave me strategy and strength to succeed at whatever I put my mind to.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a very tenacious womanpreneur. I am known for my love God and my heart for people. Indeed, I am a woman that wears many pairs of high heels. I am a minister, a mother, an author, a writer, I design websites, I publish books, I am an actress and a model. In addition, I am a mentor, a counselor, a motivational speaker, and an emerging humanitarian. I am most proud of the ability I have to persevere. I have had to weather many tumultuous storms in my life. What sets me apart from others is that I am authentically me. A unique specimen of God’s grace.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
Some of my favorite childhood memories consist of me growing up in church. My mom has six children living. I loved being surrounded by family. Another one of my favorite memory is the time I got to spend with my great-great-grandmother before she passed. She was the big mama of our family. The glue that held us together and kept us connected. I love sports. So, I enjoyed playing kickball, baseball, and volleyball with the children that lived in our neighborhood. Primarily, my favorite childhood memories were made attending worship services in church. My upbringing is the root reason I am a woman of prayer, faith, strength, and perseverance.
