Have you ever felt trapped in a loveless marriage or wrestled with the aftermath of domestic abuse? We've got an eye-opening episode today that will evoke a myriad of emotions. Our guest courageously narrates her journey through a bitter marriage, the consequent divorce, and the brutal court battles that followed. She navigates us through the labyrinth of her inner turmoil, with her faith as her compass, in a society that had a tendency of leaning towards judgment rather than empathy.
The conversation deepens as she recounts her survivor's tale of domestic abuse and the trials she faced in the legal system. With thousands spent on court and attorney fees, she reveals how she was driven towards law school and mediation as an alternative to traditional courts. These experiences paved the way for her groundbreaking organization, I Am Pro Se, which aims to provide crucial resources and support for other abuse survivors, particularly Black survivors, in association with the Black Domestic Violence Collective.
We then traverse the often overlooked struggles of Black survivors, confronting issues like post-separation abuse and the hurdles in reaching out for help. Our guest underlines the necessity to support not just survivors, but also the abusers. The conversation culminates in a profound reflection on salvation, and the transformative power of making Jesus the center of one's life. Laced with insightful perspectives on love, faith, and resilience, this episode is sure to touch hearts and minds alike. Tune in for an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you with renewed courage and hope.
