WE Survive Abuse Podcast
The We Survive Abuse Podcast is hosted by Tonya GJ Prince, founder of WeSurviveAbuse.com, BraidtheLadder.com, Rosaschildren.com and other projects. She is a longtime advocate for dignity, safety, and healing.
This space was created with care for listeners who carry a great deal in their bodies and minds. Many people who arrive here have lived through difficult experiences, and sometimes even conversations about healing can feel overwhelming. Because of that, these episodes are offered in a calm, steady voice and a thoughtful pace.
There is no rush here.
Each conversation is meant to feel more like a quiet moment on a front porch than a loud broadcast. A place where truth can be spoken clearly, where Survivors are respected, and where listeners can pause, breathe, and take in what is helpful.
Some episodes offer reflection.
Some explore patterns that affect safety and dignity.
Some simply remind us that wisdom, instinct, and resilience are still alive within us.
Listeners are always encouraged to take what is useful, leave what is not, and care for themselves along the way.
This podcast is one small part of a larger body of work created by Tonya GJ Prince, including:
• WeSurviveAbuse.com
• SurvivorAffirmations.com
• RosasChildren.com
Together, these spaces are dedicated to truth, protection, healing, and the honoring of Survivor wisdom.
Wherever you are listening from, you are welcome here.
Take a breath.

Stop Telling Black Women to Be Silent When Our Bodies are Paying the Price
Black women are not “overreacting”—we are responding to what our bodies have been forced to carry for generations. The pressure to ignore racism, to stay composed, to be endlessly strong is not harmless—it is physically costing us our health and our peace.
This is a call to shift the narrative: venting is not weakness, it is release. Naming harm is not division, it is clarity. And silence is not resilience—it is a risk.
Let Black women speak without correction. Let us process without punishment. Let us breathe without being told to endure what is slowly breaking us.
