From Pain to Power: Tanisha Bankston's Journey of Survival and Advocacy
I wanted to shoot them, kill them, stab them something, twist their head around like the exorcist, like I always say: you know, do something because of what happened, because of what happened to us, you know, because they're not feeling anything.
Tanisha Bankston’s story is one of harrowing experiences and remarkable resilience. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Tanisha opens up about her tumultuous childhood and the ongoing struggles she faced as an adult. Taken from her mother at the tender age of five, she was thrust into a world of neglect and abuse. Starved and mistreated, Tanisha's early years were marred by severe trauma, including sexual abuse that continued throughout her childhood.
Her experiences didn't stop there; as an adult, she found herself in a relationship plagued by domestic violence. Despite these overwhelming challenges, Tanisha found the courage to speak out and seek justice. She emphasizes the importance of advocacy and the need for systemic changes to protect future generations. Her story is not just a testament to her strength but also a call to action for all of us to support survivors and push for meaningful change.
