Prepare yourself for an interview that will rock your understanding of faith, marriage, and deceit. Tanesha Rivers, a woman of extraordinary resilience and spirit, unravels the horrifying truth about her married life with a Pastor who was secretly living a gay life under her very roof.

Subjected to live with her husband's lover disguised as a family friend, Tanesha's reality was a startling dichotomy. On one hand, she was the wife of a pastor, publicly lauded and appreciated, but on the other hand, she was privately shamed and belittled, a victim of a painful, elaborate ruse.

Tanesha's story extends beyond the confines of this interview. She's penned her journey in an eye-opening book, a testament to her strength, resilience, and her relentless spirit to thrive against the odds. Her tale will break your heart, but more importantly, it will inspire you, reminding us all of the indomitable spirit of human survival and empowerment.
