Carlotta Taylor-Franks Biography

From foster care to living in too many shelters to count depression and suicidal attempts Carlotta Taylor author and speaker knows that it was nothing but the grace of God that kept her from jail the streets or worse. Transferred from 26 various foster care homes because of abuse and neglect she learned early on that if she didn’t transform her mind she would be consumed by the chaotic world around her. Realizing that nothing just happens—and that God uses even our suffering to be a blessing—Carlotta seeks to inspire others to press beyond their breaking point even if she only touches one person.
Severely beaten by her father and suffering mental spiritual and physical abuse in the many foster homes she once resided in Carlotta encourages people worldwide to know that their difficulties in life do not have to define their future.
