At just 4 years old, Nana lost her father — with only fragments of memory and painful stories about how he died. What followed was a childhood marked by chaos, addiction, instability, and survival.
Raised in a drug-infested home filled with addiction, Kick-ins by The Law , and constant turmoil, Nana and her brother lived with their grandmother, who could not walk. As children, they were forced into adult roles — acting as caretakers, CNAs, and maids far too young. Despite the hardship, Nana deeply loved her grandmother and learned invaluable lessons about strength, compassion, and endurance.
At 15 years old, Nana lost her grandmother — a loss that shattered her foundation.
She courageously shares the painful truth of being violated by a family member, an experience no child should ever endure. The betrayal of silence from someone who knew forced Nana to carry trauma quietly for years — choosing forgiveness long before she ever spoke about it publicly.
Later in life, Nana faced an unimaginable loss: the death of her first daughter, E’Niyah Jones, to cancer. While pregnant with her second child, she details the hospital rooms, the emotional toll, and the profound strength of a child whose faith in God never wavered. Nana speaks about how E’Niyah’s joy, love, and belief carried the entire family through the darkest moments.
She opens up about how that loss reshaped her relationship with God, changed how she experiences death, and how she, her youngest daughter, and her family now celebrate E’Niyah’s life rather than only mourn her passing.
As if that weren’t enough, Nana also shares the terrifying story of being shot by someone she was in a relationship with, years after losing her daughter — another chapter of survival added to a life already marked by trauma.
This episode is not just about pain — it’s about endurance, faith, forgiveness, motherhood, and survival.
