Understanding Betrayal - Rape, Childhood Sexual Violence and Incest 2020 and 2021 BLACK PODCASTING AWARDS NOMINEE

I struggled to find the least destructive words to tell my son of our shared paternityA child of rape or child of incest.

This podcast took a lot out of me to produce as I became enraged reading the number of times that I saw politicians, leaders of anti-abortion groups, and religious groups proclaim a 10 year girl should be forced to have a child conceived by rape or incest.How is it possible that these young girls' bodies, minds, and their hopes, dreams and futures be sacrificed because some man decided he had the right to rape her.Why should they be reduced to collateral damage for the righteous of the anti-a...

In 2013 I found an article discussing the New Jane Crow - "it is a system of laws in which pregnant women are treated as an underclass, in which pregnant women lose virtually every other right by virtue of being pregnant."The punitive laws and bans states are attempting to install as the result of the overturn of Roe v Wade are based on not only banning abortion but controlling the lives of women, young girls, medical staff who work with women, and those who help women seek an abortion, role ...

Greetings, this was a difficult podcast for me to produceAs I was finalizing my Journey to Healing program, once again, for six week I dealt with this nagging sense that my mother, the woman who gave birth to me, was dying. She died last week and I don’t know how to grieve.I hadn’t seen or spoken to her since 2007. I spent two long hurtful weeks in 2007 with her. She was in early stages of Alzheimer’s yet she was still controlling, lethal, and master of manipulation.I hadn’...

Greetings All,I started this podcast series two years ago, terrified that no one would listen to what I had to say or found it valuable.Boy, was I wrong, two years later I have this wonderful supportive international audience, I recognized the need to build an educated audience on the history of epidemic levels of childhood sexual violence and rape in our communities.Why race, culture, religion, gender, and sexual orientations must be addressed not only in breaking the silence the...
