In this powerful episode of Unspoken with Aggie Park, Latoya shares her deeply personal journey through childhood abuse, an abusive relationship, sexual assault, depression, shame, and isolation—and ultimately finding her way back to God. As a preacher’s child who learned to hide pain behind a smile, she opens up about stepping away from church and learning to separate her relationship with God from the failures of people. Latoya discusses trauma, faith, forgiveness, mental wellness, boundaries, therapy, prayer, community, and the gradual process of healing. She also shares the heart behind Rising from the Shadows, a wellness and prevention-education initiative created to provide resources she wishes she had growing up. Her story is a reminder that your past does not define your identity or future, healing takes time, and even when you feel broken or too far gone, your story is not over.
