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. ’I kept having flashbacks of my past and was so scared for other children that were going through it...’
What was my purpose? I was just thinking very hard about what I wanted to do in my life. In 2019, I was homeless while I had my 8-year-old son with me and was six months pregnant with my baby girl. I ended up leaving Georgia to go to California to stay with my younger sister. She told me to get myself together after I had my daughter. There I studied for my life insurance license. After I passed, I went back to Georgia to get my apartment. I made a reasonable part-time income but, in my heart, I still wasn’t complete and felt like I couldn’t put my all into Life Insurance. I tried to get into Real Estate Wholesales and just couldn’t do it. I kept having flashbacks of my past and was so scared for other children that were going through it. As a result, I wrote my book about the abuse I suffered from my father and how I dealt with a man’s sexual assault. Suddenly, I felt like I needed to help children and teenagers and how parents can recognize signs, or anyone that knows others going through it can help prevent it from happening to another child. I also created a course to teach people the signs of child sexual abuse. I’m also building my brand ‘Stopping the Silence in Homes. ’ My goal is to make short films to send out a message about child sexual abuse. Getting people to speak out about the trauma and issues with others. I’m also working on writing children’s books to know the red flags if they come across a pedophile, and taking STOPPING THE SILENCE IN HOMES to another level to get the message out. I won’t stop until I get most of the world talking about the issues in their communities. It is mostly our older generations that think sexual abuse should not be talked about and want to hide it. What they don’t realize is that it leads to problems in the abused kids’ adult life, like drugs, suicide, and prostitution. There are many adults who are suffering through that right now. What can we do to prevent it? We need to teach kids to speak up now and to get help or to recognize the signs so that they do not go through it. It was my trauma and pain that drove me to create this movement. I know how scared and hurt children and teens feel, as well as how they wish it could stop. They need our help to survive. Learn the signs and support the cause by taking my course. Add me @

AngeOils brings relief

What is pain? by Angela Martin
“Pain is an uncomfortable feeling that tells you something may be wrong. It can be steady, throbbing, stabbing, aching, pinching, burning or described as a nuisance and may even be debilitating.”
AngOils is an essential oil-infused business offering you natural solutions to support your health and wellness now and in the future. Formerly known as @i.eat.oils; AngOils faced a dilemma wherein I could not afford an essential oil product that I so badly wanted to get to relieve my mother’s chronic pain because of arthritis and fibromyalgia. I was desperate, and I started looking at the essential oils I had access to in my little makeup case I had, and researched them. I wanted to know what benefits they offered and if these benefits would assist in pain relief and pain management.
After some tries, I found the right combination of oils and my mother started using the blend on her painful joints during the day. She could quickly fall asleep at night, function during the day, and do more - like baking!
Pain can be managed depending on the source of your pain and the type of pain you have. My business provides you with solutions to manage your pain. If you are a gym enthusiast or a sports person or you simply hurt yourself doing a daily task, the Pain Blend is a tool to help relieve the pain so that you can resume everyday tasks.
We also have a CBD offering (Charlotte’s Angel), which is a more permanent solution to chronic pain/inflammation. CBD is lipophilic or fat-soluble, so it compounds in our bodies over time, which benefits you the longer you consume it. https://rethinkcbd.co.za/2021/06/03/can-you-take-cbd-daily/
