What happens when a survivor refuses to stay silent—when she speaks truth, endures the courtroom, and walks away victorious?
In this powerful episode of Voice Up for the Voiceless, we welcome Joy Caroline Merchan, a survivor who stood her ground in a highly emotional legal battle against Walter Jackson “Jake” Harvey, Jr. and Carole Allyn Hill Harvey—and won.
Join Angela Williams and Crysta Marshall as they sit down with Joy to hear:
- The backstory of the case that took years to unfold
- What it felt like to face her abusers in court
- How faith sustained her in the darkest moments
- What justice means to a survivor
- A message for others still waiting for their day of truth
This episode is about more than a courtroom victory—it's about the spiritual triumph of a woman who knew God was her defender. It’s about truth outlasting lies, and the sacred power of a survivor reclaiming her voice.
