Today's story is a powerful one! My guest for this particular episode chose to conceal her identity. She talks about her struggles with sexual predation from as young as primary school.  However, surviving sexual predation from her uncle who was her caretaker then is the downcast of this story.  Later on in life, tables turned and she as well learned the power of sexual manipulation. She used this as protection from sex predators but this also made her the very thing she was trying to protect herself from. She's now on a recovery journey and she hopes her story will inspire a cultural shift that breaks the ugly cycle of sexual predation. Tune inDonate to ConnectiviTea. Follow us on Instagram.
