I'm an ambassador for Nasca, and I want to be that voice for the kids coming up today, because what's going on in the world in which we live?
Ever wondered how someone can turn a traumatic past into a beacon of hope? Meet Joe Potosi, a survivor of childhood abuse who’s now an author, motivational speaker, and ambassador for the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (Nasca). In this episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', Joe sits down with host Sean Dustin to share his harrowing yet inspiring journey. Growing up, Joe faced neglect and severe physical abuse from his stepfather and mother.
Locked in the basement and beaten, he even had a gun held to his head for quitting his paper route. Despite these unimaginable hardships, Joe found solace in writing, eventually turning his journal entries into the book 'When the Dust Settled'. Joe’s story isn’t just about surviving; it’s about healing and transformation. Through faith and community support, he found the strength to forgive his abusers and let go of his pain.
Now, as an ambassador for Nasca, Joe is committed to raising awareness about child abuse and advocating for policies that protect children. He also sheds light on the cycle of abuse and its impact on black culture, emphasizing the need for education and awareness to break these harmful patterns. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is hope for a brighter future.
Tune in to hear Joe’s incredible story of resilience and discover how he’s making a difference in the lives of others.
