If you caught our show last month, you heard us talk about childhood sexual assault on the continent.  Well today we bring you Part 2, to talk about the even darker side of childhood sexual assualt that is often relegated to the shadows: incest. My guest today is a longtime friend who is ready to tell her story. We get a chance to hear her survivor story, and how she’s worked to make sense of her abuse over the years.

I wanted today’s show to also be a place of healing for my guest and anyone else who might be a survivor of assault and incest, so I invited along Dr. Ismahan Soukeyna Diop, a Psychological Clinician, Professor, and Researcher with the University Cheikh Anta Diop here in Dakar, Senegal. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this emotional and healing episode.
