In this next episode of Destiny Creators, we sit down with Olubukola (Bukky) an Amour Destine Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA)

Bukky shares her journey into this vital work and her commitment to supporting migrant survivors facing unique and complex barriers as a result of immigration barriers such as No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) from harmful practices and systemic gaps that too often leave women unheard and unsupported.

Through her experience providing one-to-one support and championing access to healthy relationship education, Olubukola explains what it really takes to build trust, break down barriers, and create spaces where survivors feel seen, believed, and empowered.

She offers practical insights, an inspiring story of what’s possible when survivors get the right help, and leaves us with a clear call to action for professionals, communities, and anyone ready to stand with migrant women on their path to safety.

Tune in and discover how you, too, can help build a world where every woman has the chance to shape her own future, free from fear.

In this episode of Destiny Creators, we sit down with Sanata — a courageous domestic violence survivor, devoted mother, and ambassador for Amour Destine. Sanata shares her story in both French and English, opening her heart to reach and inspire women from all walks of life.

She talks about her journey of surviving abuse, finding her strength and confidence again, and becoming a voice of hope for others still facing the same darkness she once did. Sanata reflects on what helped her feel safe enough to speak out, the barriers she faced — especially around immigration — and what she wishes every professional and community member understood about supporting survivors.

With warmth and honesty, she shares her key message for other women: no matter how hard things feel now, everything will be ok.

For anyone listening, Sanata’s call to action is clear — stand with women, listen without judgement, and create safe spaces where every survivor can reclaim her future.

Tune in for this inspiring bilingual conversation, and remember: we all have the power to help others create their own destiny.
