Najla shares her powerful journey to healing and self-forgiveness and offers some wise advice about how communities and individuals can work to end domestic violence.

SISTERs Stories is a project of Women's Resource Center to End Domestic Violence. In this series, SISTERs (Survivors In Service To Extend Resiliency) tell their stories of surviving domestic violence. SISTERs Stories offers listeners a glimpse into their lives, beyond the stigma, myths and assumptions about DV survivors. The goal is to center survivors' stories and broaden the DV conversation to include a focus on their strengths, resiliency, wisdom and varied paths to healing.
