Today I’m honored to have back on the show: Satanic ritual abuse, sexual abuse, and religious abuse survivor, visionary artist and acrylic painter, business owner and entrepreneur, sunset lover, color connoisseur, mental and spiritual health warrior, social media content creator and host of her own podcast called ‘She Got Away’ on YouTube, and someone I’m honored to call my dear friend: Kibbi Linga
In case you’re new here or missed Kibbi’s incredible first testimony episode, here is a brief recap to catch you all up!
Kibbi was born into a satanic cult that she believes was multi-generational and her abuse started at birth. The cult was headed by her mother who was a high priestess and who was also Kibbi’s main abuser. Her family hid behind the cover of Catholicism and would use inversions of religion as an excuse to perpetuate abuse. Kibbi and her siblings, in turn, would experience religious abuse in addition to the horrors of satanic ritual abuse and and sexual abuse. Kibbi’s mother would lead the rituals, and her father was in charge of the clean-up afterwards and finding the children and babies her mother would use for rituals. Some of Kibbi’s first memories involve seeing the world through LSD and feeding her baby dolls ‘potion’ - which she now knows was a conditioning method to train her and her siblings to drug their future children and pass on the generational trauma. Kibbi would be put in cages, was forced to watch and partake in human and child sacrifices and would have to navigate dealing with a narcissistic mother. Kibbi told herself as a child that she would one day get away, be an artist, and expose her mother - and after years of being silenced, that is exactly what she is doing today.
On today’s episode, we continue to weave through Kibbi's life, exploring the intricate roles both her parents played in her story. Her father, unlike her mother, presents a more complex figure in her memory - part abuser and part father looking for redemption, he embodied the confusing love-hate relationship that many children of abuse navigate. Understanding this duality is crucial, not only for Kibbi's narrative but for anyone seeking to comprehend the psychological impact of living in such environments.
Kibbi will also be diving deeper into her art, revealing the stories and memories behind each piece, showing how every brush stroke was a step toward healing. Her paintings are not mere decor; they are dialogues, conversations between her past and present, her pain and her passion. Through her art, Kibbi teaches us a most invaluable lesson: that from the most profound wounds can grow the most exquisite beauty, offering a visual testament to resilience. Kibbi's life is an inspiring saga of turning trauma into triumph, where each painting is a chapter of her autobiography written in color, light, and love. Her story is a beacon for all who feel lost in their pain, illustrating that with courage, creativity can be the key to not just surviving but thriving.
