In today's episode, Eboné engages in a deeply insightful conversation with an extraordinary woman, as they unravel a story that has been concealed for an astonishing four decades. Eboné's guest courageously reveals a painful journey of abuse that originated within the sanctuary of the church walls.

Throughout this episode, we're granted a privileged insight into Eboné's guest perspective on the somber reality of sexual abuse hidden within religious communities. Eboné's guest fearlessly recounts the threats she faced from church members from a certain denomination and shares the pivotal moment that drove her to break her silence and share her story.

But that's not all – Eboné's guest sheds light on how her experience within foster care played a significant role in her ordeal. Eboné and her guest explore how she was let down by multiple church members, including the pastor, and how these betrayals led to an unimaginable twist: she ended up marrying one of her abusers.

It's a heavy but incredibly important conversation, and we're honored to bring it to you on The Professional Homegirl Podcast. Tune in and join us as we navigate through the depths of this survivor's journey and uncover the courage it takes to reclaim one's voice.
