In this powerful and emotional episode, we sit down with Cerlisa Collins, author of I Will Survive, a gripping and courageous memoir that sheds light on the realities of intimate partner violence, grief, and healing.
At just 27, Cerlisa has lived through more than most—losing her father, then her mother, surviving an attempted murder by someone she once loved, and grieving the tragic loss of her best friend who died trying to protect her. Despite the trauma, Cerlisa chose to turn her pain into purpose.
Tune in as she shares her journey with raw transparency, the writing process behind I Will Survive, and how she now uses her voice and platform to empower other women through her organization, WomenCeeWomen.
🛑 This is more than a story of survival—it's a testimony of strength, purpose, and unwavering faith.

The real-life events that inspired I Will Survive
The emotional process of writing through trauma
