At the age of 18, Triumph Abigail’s beloved mother, Beatrice Viola Amanda Antonio, returned to her maker after a long fight of breast cancer and diabetes.

The mission of the “Triumph of the Millennium” movie is:
Statistically, in 1 to 5 homes, in the world, at least 2 homes have some form of abuse taking place regularly. Society, as a whole, has frequent cases of abuse (physical, mental or otherwise); there is a lot of negativity in perceiving the way of life. Built into this movie are elements that offset the negativity and offer hope and encouragement to millions of people, both male and female, who can relate to having gone through the same or similar situations or know someone who has. The movie is meant to inform, educate and provide hope to abuse victims. There are several shelters, foundations, good Samaritans, family members, friends, authorities’, that are available to counsel, protect and rehabilitate abuse victims. 

“Majority of my work as a Writer is inspired by real life experiences. I thank God for blessing me with creativity, knowledge and wisdom to put it all into action. I’m truly blessed to have loving and supportive beautiful daughters, Naomi and Joy. Put God first and the sky is the limit once you know what creative passion you have, and focus on how to go about achieving it.”
