"You are here today. You're listening today. You made it this far. That means you have a desire to live." - Patricia Larsen

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Patricia Larsen as they dive deep into healing from sexual abuse and creating supportive conversations around trauma. Patricia shares her journey from survivor to advocate with her book "Unsilenced: A Journey of Healing from Sexual Abuse."

This powerful conversation brings light to the darkness and provides practical guidance for both survivors and allies.
