By Talk Naija

“Once I began to realize that shame was suffocating me, I decided to let go and breathe. This is my story.”

    You are incredibly brave. It is not an easy thing to expose yourself as you have and I applaud you for it. I have also been sexually abused and suffer from mental health issues (though things have got better) and still struggle immensely even after 10 years. I am a Ghanian Brit who knows that your story is akin to so many other stories and just seeing your face will help not only Nigerians but flood through the diaspora.

    The candid nature with which you told your story and this website has really made me feel less alone.

    Thank you and good luck with everything.

    You are beautiful Queen and your son will grow up to know what courage is with a mother like you. Keep standing tall.
