Today I’m honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, military veteran, former private contractor, anti-piracy operator, and bodyguard, prison and health industry reform activist, podcaster and host of his own YouTube channel called ‘Survivor’s Story, and men’s trauma and sexual abuse advocate: Daniel

Growing up in an expatriate family in Nigeria, Daniel's early years were marked by a sense of unease and fear despite the cover story of having a seemingly normal childhood. Living in a wealthy household with guards and walls, he continually felt an underlying terror for reasons unknown, compounded by experiences of neglect and abandonment.

As a young man, Daniel channeled his intensity into a career in security and military service, joining an elite force where he served with distinction before transitioning to private contracting in the Middle East, anti-piracy operations off the Somali coast, and close protection work for high-profile individuals. Yet, beneath his competent exterior, Daniel carried profound wounds and trauma - self-loathing, rage, and suicidal ideation that he could not explain. His disillusionment with the motives behind his work in the Middle East, realizing it was driven by oil, money, and power rather than heroism, prompted a pivotal shift. This awakening sparked a spiritual journey, diving into personal development and somatic therapy with the same fervor he had applied to his military career.

In 2020, however, Daniel's life took a dramatic turn when repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) surfaced during alternative and holistic therapeutic modalities he was seeking for personal development. These visceral, somatic flashbacks revealed a harrowing truth: from a very young age, he had endured extreme abuse, including rape and torture, at the hands of multiple perpetrators. The memories were so overwhelming that they triggered periods of psychosis to cope with the unbearable reality. 

Central to Daniel's healing was his journey toward forgiveness, a concept he initially resisted, fearing it would betray the children he suffered alongside. Through spiritual exploration, he came to see forgiveness as a path to freedom, not a condoning of abuse. By setting firm boundaries - such cutting off his abusers and their accomplices - he found the safety to forgive from a distance, releasing resentment and embracing love as a transformative force. This process, coupled with rigorous psychological work, helped him integrate his experiences with a renewed sense of purpose.

Today, Daniel is a survivor and a leader, transforming his trauma into advocacy through his passion project and podcast, Survivor Story, focused on men's healing and in giving survivors a voice. His mission is to inspire other survivors - particularly men - to share their stories, break the silence around male child sexual abuse, and pursue healing.
