38 | From A Survivor: Pendo’s Power Protecting Children from Abuse | Lydia Matioli
In this deeply moving episode of I AM NALA, host Aya Chebbi is joined by Kenyan child protection advocate, survivor, and author Lydia Matioli for a powerful conversation on healing, parenting, and prevention. Lydia opens up about surviving childhood sexual abuse in Kibera and how becoming a mother pushed her to break the generational cycles of silence. From transforming her pain into purpose to publishing Pendo’s Power, a children's book that teaches body autonomy and consent, Lydia is on a mission to help children speak—and be heard.
This episode is a brave and beautiful journey through survival, motherhood, and the fight to protect children everywhere. Lydia reminds us that prevention starts with language, listening, and love.
