Domestic Abuse:The Cutting Edge
I am domestic abuse survivor ,a mother and a warrior on a mission to fight the battle in efforts to emancipate others who suffer at the hands of their abuser, victims who are still living with the devastation domestic abuse.My podcast follows my survivor story and those of other brave survivors.The podcast will also feature guest speakers who have knowledge and experience of working in the field as well as guests who are survivors,domestic abuse champions and ambassadors.I carried the shame ,humiliation and trauma with me for years and although it can never completely leave me, I have found the power to harness these residual feelings of shame ,humiliation and trauma to drive awareness of the ugly truth of domestic abuse. I have found my voice which I will use fearlessly to break the silence of domestic violence.
