In this raw and defiant episode of I AM NALA, Amanda sits down with host Aya to break a silence that was never hers to carry. At just 12 years old, Amanda was repeatedly abused by a trusted adult someone twice her age and protected by a culture of shame and silence. Years later, she’s speaking her truth publicly, not for pity, but for power. Amanda takes us through the fear of reporting, the pain of being disbelieved, and the strength it took to write it all down to reclaim her story on her own terms. This episode is not just about surviving. It’s about returning to yourself and refusing to stay hidden.
