TRIGGER WARNING: Suicidal ideations, substance abuse, domestic violence, mental illness

J.J. Celli is a detective who was shot by her ex-girlfriend and then victimized by her own department, which swept the incident under the rug. She completely rebuilt herself, training herself to fire her weapon with her left arm and overcoming the horrifying trauma from that fateful night. She also got sober and bravely shares her story through poetry. Follow her on Instagram: @J.J.Celli.
