I moved to Atlanta with
5 suitcases...
after losing almost everything.
I moved to down south
because everyone said it was
more affordable
if you're new here my name is
Zaina
Six months ago I relocated to
Atlanta
Georgia after losing my
business
I had to downsize my entire
life
today
I rent a room in a shared home
with other two working
professionals
it's peaceful here we hardly
ever see each other
because everyone is busy
trying to build a better life
as for me I'm 44 years old
I'm a mum to two boys I was a
tax consultant in Tanzania
then became a caregiver after
moving to USA
and today
I'm driving for Lyft while
rebuilding my life from the
ground up
a few years ago I weighed 324
pounds
today I've lost 175 pounds
I've been through failed
relationships
debt and losing my business
but I've learned something
starting over isn't a sign that
you failed
it's a proof that you've not
given up

I never imagined I’d be starting over at 44. After losing my business, I packed up my life, moved to Atlanta, downsized into a shared house, and began rebuilding one day at a time. This is where my next chapter begins. If you’re rebuilding too, you’re not alone. ❤️ #RebuildingMyLife #StartingOver #Atlanta #WomenOver40 #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive
