Are you from Pakistani/Indian subcontinent? Because I tell ya- those brown parents take some sort of secret courses to be their own child’s best critics. You know what though?

I started to pray to God and acknowledged the connection I felt. I turned life around for the better and told myself, I am ... Read More
Salaams Sister, I think it is very brave of you to reach out and describe what you have gone thru. I know this because I can relate. I was sexually molested for about 5 years and this also started at an early age of 5-6. I was molested by my Father’s brother. What is worse ... Read More
