Overcoming… Against All Odds | Dr Ann-Marie Wilson MBE
This is quite simply one of the most remarkable conversations and women I’ve ever come across. Her story involves early-childhood molestation, leaving school at 16, converting to Judaism, violent marriage, divorce, rape, suicide attempts, breakdown, 10 years as a successful businesswoman, gaining a doctorate, hearing the audible voice of God, near-death experiences, starting a charity that has impacted millions of lives by getting Female Genital Mutilation outlawed in various countries, and living actively and still chipper with a terminal illness. It’s the longest podcast we’ve ever done because I couldn’t bring myself to shorten it, and it’s a fitting one for our 100th episode. Get ready to be blown away. I was still shaking my head in awe/disbelief/admiration long after we’d drawn it to a close. I suspect you will too!Content warning: Contains discussion of abuse and suicide attempts.Check out www.28toomany.org if you want to get involved. ‘Overcoming – My fight against FGM’ can be ordered from https://standrewsbookshop.co.uk or any book retailer.
