Hi, I'm Eb Jo!

For years, I carried the weight of being raped in my teenage years. The memories were like thorns in my heart, piercing deeper each day. I felt alone, trapped in a cycle of pain and despair.

​

The person who inflicted this attack upon me not only took away my sense of safety but also manipulated my perception of truth and worth. I was silenced by fear, convinced that no one would believe my story. So, I kept it locked away, suffocating beneath my silence. 

​

I struggled to function, battling with thoughts of worthlessness and hopelessness. Suicide seemed like the only escape from the perpetrator and the torment of my own mind. After two failed suicide attempts, my life seemed doomed for misery and despair.

​

As the years went by, the pain continued to grow. It consumed me, robbing me of both peace and joy. But amidst the darkness, a flicker of hope emerged. With the guided support of professionals, I embarked on a journey towards healing. It was not easy. I had to confront my demons head-on, navigating through the depths of depression and PTSD.

​

Yet, through perseverance and divine intervention, I found solace. I discovered that healing is possible, even in the darkest of times. With each step forward, I reclaimed pieces of myself that had been lost. I learned to forgive both myself and those who had hurt me. And in doing so, I found freedom.

​

Though the scars of my past will always remain, they no longer define me. I am a survivor, empowered by my journey towards healing. Prayerfully, my healing can offer hope to someone else.
