Step into the incredible journey of Mika, a survivor who faced unimaginable trauma yet emerged with a message brimming with hope and resilience. Her story begins in a humble household, set against the backdrop of immigrant struggle and love. Micah shares how her upbringing instilled a sense of responsibility and a strong moral compass, shaping her into the empowered individual she is today.
But life took a dramatic turn when red flags in her relationship blurred her judgment.

The loss of her father at the hands of her ex-boyfriend is an experience that changed the course of her life forever. Listen closely as Mika recounts the gripping details of that moment and the emotional turmoil that followed—grief, guilt, and the quest for healing.
Through this cathartic experience, Micah emphasizes forgiveness as pivotal to her recovery. Her newfound purpose is guiding her to create a non-profit to educate youth about emotional awareness and relationships. With determination and an unwavering spirit, Mika seeks to transform her painful history into advocacy, providing a voice for those affected by similar circumstances.
