WORKING MAMAS 2022
by Tousha Peoples
My name is Tousha Peoples. I am a mother of two beautiful kids, and soon to be married to a man that had my back for years. In my story, I am a survivor of child sexual abuse. My biological father has been raping and molesting me from the time I was six years old until 17 years of age. Dealing with abuse for years by a father who groomed and manipulated me to think it was normal for us to have sex. I still felt confused and knew it was wrong in my heart. I have been silent for years and told no one because I was threatened by my father. I was also raped by another man in 2013 and ended up in deep depression because in my mind I felt like a sex object to men. I was still trying to find my purpose.
