In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now,' hosted by Carol Levine, listeners are introduced to Wanda Marie Chandler, an inspiring figure from Orlando, Florida. Wanda, a survivor of child abuse, shares her poignant journey from darkness to healing. As the ninth of ten children, born to Sylvion and Pastor Margaret Keith, Wanda's life story is one of resilience and hope.
Raised partly in the United States Virgin Islands and later in Orlando, her narrative is a testament to the power of survival and transformation. Wanda is the author of 'Diamonds in the Rough,' a compilation of testimonies and stories of women who have faced abuse and emerged stronger. Through her book, she aims to reach out to young girls and women, offering them a beacon of hope and a path out of despair.
The episode underscores the importance of sharing survivor stories as a means of healing and empowerment. Carol Levine, Vice President of NASCA (National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse), provides a platform for such narratives, reminding listeners of the organization's commitment to supporting adult survivors. The discussion highlights the universal emotions shared by survivors, regardless of their individual experiences, and the poor choices often made due to a lack of guidance.
Listeners are advised on the significance of parental vigilance and the necessity of teaching children about personal safety and recognizing abusive behaviors. The conversation also touches upon the role of faith, with Wanda emphasizing how her spiritual journey has been integral to her healing. Throughout the episode, the atmosphere is one of encouragement and solidarity, with Carol ensuring a balance of seriousness and light-heartedness, making the conversation both engaging and profoundly moving.
