Felisha Johnson: From Pain to Purpose in Child Abuse Recovery
Recovery is just daily work and I still have to remind myself of all the things we've talked about tonight.
What does it take to turn a childhood filled with pain into a story of purpose and healing? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Felisha Johnson from Miami, Florida, shares her powerful journey. As a child, Felisha endured physical and sexual abuse, was taken from her family, and spent ten years in the foster care system. Emancipating at sixteen, she faced numerous hardships but refused to let her past define her future. "I am a survivor", she declares.
"At seven years old, I was sexually molested by an uncle, physically abused by my stepfather, and labeled as a troubled child by my mother". Felisha's resilience shines through as she recounts her journey from trauma to triumph. She founded the 'Heal Your Story' Foundation to support other trauma survivors and at-risk youth, helping them transition from hurt to healing. This episode also features an open forum where survivor-professionals field questions and discuss various topics brought up by listeners.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the importance of community support and the belief that every survivor deserves love and healing.
