On Christmas Day 2002, I was with my uncle when I got the news my mom had been shot — eight times — by the man she was married to at the time.
In this episode, I walk you through that day, what I saw when I got to the hospital, and the words my Granny said that still stay with me. I share the moments that shaped how I saw my mom, not just as a victim, but as a survivor.
We’ll talk about the justice system’s response, the way her case was handled, and why I’ll never be okay with how little she was protected — then or now.
This is more than my mom’s story.
It’s a story about survival, family, and the fight to be seen as more than a case file.
