This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Maya Golden, author of the memoir, The Return Trip. Maya is the founder of the 1 in 3 foundation which provides recovery tools and support for survivors of sexual abuse. An organization she started after she went on her own road to healing through body based therapy that helped her overcome her trauma and sex addiction. 

In our conversation, we discuss how Maya initially planned to pen her memoir as a fictional story. How she’s learning to belong to herself. And, how she hid behind perfectionism as a wife, mother, and in her work and what she’s doing now to give her self grace and live free of shame.
