In this powerful episode of The Melanin Wellness Podcast, we’re diving deep into healing, advocacy, and breaking the silence around sexual trauma. Join host Cori as she sits down with Leah M. Forney, a fierce advocate for survivors, to discuss the complexities of healing from sexual trauma, rebuilding intimacy, and creating systemic change for Black women.
Leah shares her journey of survival and how she turned her pain into purpose through survivor advocacy, public speaking, and her work with the Courage, Couture Gala—an event that uplifts and empowers survivors. We tackle essential topics like overcoming shame, navigating relationships after trauma, and the importance of safe spaces for healing.
This episode is a must-listen for Black women reclaiming their voices, seeking emotional freedom, and ready to step into a new chapter of their lives. If you’re looking for a podcast on healing, Black women’s wellness, and survivor empowerment, you’re in the right place.
