In this episode, we are joined by  Survivor Jeremy Indika.  Jeremy is a firm believer in the "Power of Story Telling" and the importance of sharing  his story of childhood sexual abuse in an attempt to help break down the stigma and silence that is allowing it to thrive.   We had the great pleasure of chatting about future projects Jeremy's working on. We're so excited to see what content he will come up with next to help us not only learn and raise awareness  but to help educate others.

Instead of diving deep into Jeremy's past on our podcast, we take this time to discuss what we can do to help children moving forward.  The importance of education, talking to your children about their private areas, and making sure they know that there are no secrets when someone touches them in those areas.  Talking to your children must start early and be repeated often .  These conversations should be age appropriate, starting with using the correct names for private areas, reminding them of their body sovereignty,  and as they get older beginning to have conversations about sex and body positivity.   

As parents we spend so much time talking about avoiding strangers and not taking drugs, but we ignore having the conversation with our kids about their body.  It can be embarrassing, we know, but it is so important to talk to them or get a book on their body's changes or find an age-appropriate video to watch together.  If we are not controlling the narrative of what is told to our children, they'll find it elsewhere.  Jeremy has a great 5-part series on Instagram that he created to be the starting point of conversations with other parents and with some older kids.  If we are to stop the secrecy of pedophilia, we need to make sure our kids know what is good and bad and they have a soft place to land if they ever have to come forward with this type of information.  It starts at home!

We were excited to have connected with guest of honor, Jeremy Indika. We hope you get some great pointers to being having conversations with your children.  It's never too early to start talking.  The longer you wait, the harder it becomes.

Jeremy has taken us on his journey by  sharing his most vulnerable and painful moments/experience of his life with us. It takes so much courage, Jeremy has embraced the opportunity to create illustrations and animations to help educate our children, parents and future generations on how to identify the different types of abuse/grooming.
