I am a 72-year-old daughter of a pedophile. Your story touched my soul. I am trying to write my own story but it is so painful. My parents are both gone now and I do NOT miss them. I have so much to say, but don't know where to start. Thank you for being so courageous. And all those people who told you that you were beautiful, they were not lying. God bless you Keisha. 🦋
Roshonda Catchings contact them and find out. Did any of the other info seem relatable. Ie. She said her mother had schizophrenia. Do you recall having an aunt or another relative with this mental illness. She never said if her daughter who was raised by the father was given her last name or the father. Were you raised by your father. Definitely, contact to see if there’ an relationship.
Blessings and Love to You Christina there's a lot of places on UA-cam that have positive messages but unfortunately you have to seek them out if you would like to come to a positive platform myself and many of my friends have positive platforms we love to laugh sing dance and praise God so you're welcome to come over and visit us anytime much love to you and take care
We blame society who is trying to cope with the strain of the families who have failed these children. These kids would never have been in the system had their families not failed them. We just give a pass to the family and just skip to blaming everybody else. The system is trying, but it is definitely lacking.
I too had a schizophrenic mum. Growing up all I knew her as was crazy. I want to teach my daughter that her grandmother was not crazy, she was sick. Rip mama 💓
Me too. I grew up with a mom who was always distant. Who was always laughing. I was always embarrassed. Envious of other people's moms, who showed love to their children. I thought it was just me. 🙃
I am a 27 year old schitzo n I work n never got a SSI check. I hate how ppl think all of us are the same. Im not a mother but I been told I would be a great mother n I babysit all the time. I see it as a strength not a disability. Professionals wanted me to hurry up n get a s.s check smh but I never wanted tht. I wanted to find a job on my own n they ain't feel like waiting on that llllooonng process. It took me 6 years to get employed. I knew I had the potential.
Keisha, you are strong and beautiful. Keep rising. Your story needs to be heard. Work to find your mountain. Claim your crown. Forgive yourself and begin to live yourself.
amen sister preach it i will pray for keisha i pray she has an easier life now and a blessed one too she deserves it after all she has went through poor dear :(
I could never forgive someone who is not sorry for what they did. Letting go of resentment is not the same thing as forgiving the perpetrator or the enabler. Letting go of resentment, to me, is simply acknowledging the fact that people who do bad things will always be around, and that it wasn't my fault they chose to do evil things and happened to target me; that, no matter what they did, no matter how maliciously the act was inflicted upon me, they have no real power over me, the way I think about myself or my life. You can only ever forgive someone who's truly sorry of what they did and who'd never do it again.
@@amberrose1108 Yeah, the Bible is a religious book, and I hate to break it to you, but religion is BS. Just because something's mentioned in your bible does not make it true.
@It’s Amor’e and Dj Show Exactly my point: what people call forgiveness is actually letting go, which you do for yourself and not necessarily for the person who wronged you. You can't control their actions or their sorrow, but you can control how you much you allow what they did to you affect your day-to-day life.
Keisha, you were a child, you did not fail yourself. Allow me to list for you all of the people who did fail you: your mother, your father, your aunt, your cousins, your teachers, the police, all social workers, the foster care system, the trafficker, the friend who introduced you to the trafficker, and all adults who came into to contact with you and did not save you.
Same story here praying for you my sister in Christ I never thought I would be able to overcome all of the dark horrible obstacles that I've been doing it since childhood until my 37 years of age it was just within the last two years I found my way back to God and have been working through each and every memory that I ran from it was afraid of and became a drug addict for a fear of confronting would have happened during my past because I didn't want to hurt anyone else and my mother didn't acknowledge it no one was acknowledging it so I was talked to Barry yet until I just vomited them all over the place and they crept up on me and consumed my whole life for a while there I was just existing and not living until I Surrender it all my will to God pray for me as I am still accepting all of the dissection of relationships and the conditioning of my mind that was put on me during childhood I commend you it takes a strong woman with the faith of God to be able to speak out about this I still have trouble speaking out about what myself and my seven siblings endured. Mets God bless and keep you all the days through in Jesus name amen all the glory belongs to the father
Very powerful testimony. My mother has mental health problems. Growing up was extremely painful and difficult. I was abused by people I trusted. Praise God I’ve overcome many painful wounds. Forgiveness separates us from bondage.
Thank you so much Keisha for sharing your story. You are so incredibly articulate and you have such a sweet spirit. Your story is beautiful, despite the heartbreaking trauma that you endured, it's beautiful because you turned your pain into progress and didn't allow your hardships to define you! God Bless. Xoxo ✨💫
What a moving story. If you ever read this Keisha know that there is no shame in the position you found yourself simply trying to survive when the odds had been stacked against you all your life, and what you have gone on to achieve is really quite amazing. Your resilience and strength of character is impressive, many weaker individuals have been floored by a fraction of what you endured.
Irene weakness is not a bad thing as being strong doesn't mean strength, she survived that's all and some people don't, it has nothing to do with strength
@@rasheeda1303 It's endurance not strength exactly,they are similar but different... She had the courage and will to endure and come out on the other side..
Such poise, loving and humble energy! How great her life could have been without the demise, pain and suffering! But still she rise speaking her truth ! Now moving forward sharing your life and experience for so many young ladies ! May you be blessed in all days 2 come
I can scarcely imagine having the guts to tell this story, much less live through it & end up SUCH an articulate, open, loving, & honest woman. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Keisha, from the first moment I saw you I saw a beautiful girl (I’m old enough to be your mother.) I was surprised by your story, so different from mine, and yet your story spoke to me and moved me unlike others I’ve heard. I think what resonates for me the most is that you always knew you were a “good” girl and none of that was ever the real you - it wasn’t who you are. It didn’t match your core values. Thank you for having the courage to share your story. You have your whole life still ahead of you. I hope you continue to grow into the woman you were always meant to be. I admire your ability to free yourself and forgive. I wish that I could do that, too.
You can forgive too, DC B. It's a choice. Ask Jesus to help you, and to give your strength. Jesus forgave all the horrible people who whipped him, insulted him and nailed him to the cross. God only forgives our sins, if we forgive others their sins. Everyone needs to get saved. Jesus is God's Son and He loves us SO MUCH! To get saved, confess your sins to Him, ask Him to forgive your sins and to come into your life and save you. Put your faith and trust in Him. Realize that God rose Jesus from the dead, and confess Jesus is Lord with your mouth and believe it in your heart, and you will be saved. Then get baptized. Jesus is coming soon! Never take the Mark into your hand or forehead or you'll go to hell. God will provide supernaturally for you.
DC B, keep the faith and trust God, you can do it and you will do and get over your circumstances. Forgive those who have hurt you so that pain can be given back to them and then forgive yourself and let it go 🙏🏼
This is why I don't trust anyone. Folks tell me I'm beautiful I find it a lie a way to get what they want not genuine. I always say " Your just saying that!!" I had someone tell me that took advantage. I understand her childhood I was adopted they had no idea how to show me love I started looking for it in men. Being promiscuous. I was close to being pimped out when I was homeless with my godsister I never forgave her after that she planned for it to happen I didn't know until her godmother explained who the ppl were stuff they did. I never could trust anyone. Now women want to be my friend I question everything I watch every move.
annaravani1 that is all over the World, little regard for girls and women, especially those of colour, men have for Centuries hated and despised the female, and oppressed them in all ways😬
@@MariaMaria-wv1sy I think this applies to western countries- there strong dislike towards people of color- thus the bad treatment. Prior to European invasion of ancient lands women were valued. Too often all we hear of Western culture- its glories and shame. But their is history of other people- the people of the color, which needs to be expounded upon to the masses.
It comes from human beings. All over the world. It is shameful and these people deserve to be held accountable for what they have done. But as an Canadian, I can see the way the american system makes it easy for these criminals to operate. Services are so lacking in many states and education of the police is behind everywhere else. People needs social programs for reasons like this, think about the people whose policies allow for these things to happen so easily and often the next time you're going to vote. THEY are the ones who are responsible for things that happen to these girls.
That you survived so much and can look at your situation and actually understand that abuse is a cycle amazes me, bless you and thank you for sharing ❤️
You my dear are AMAZING! You are clearly called to GREATNESS. I LOVE it that you forgave and moved on because God wants to use you. You MATTER so much and you totally ROCK!!!!
Amber Rose i wouldnt call that back then this was posted 5yrs ago when she was 26 when she was confronted by that cop she was 16 meaning that was a 10 yr time frame so it wasnt too long ago im sure cops nowadays still do sad shit like that
Wow, your life is extremely inspirational! Praise the Lord that you are where you are now in life. I'm gonna go cry a little and think a lot. Thanks for sharing your story.. God bless you 🙇
Thank you so much for sharing your personal story of strife and triumph! You are a beautiful child of God, and an absolute inspiration to all who hear your testimony! May love, peace, and blessings surround you always Keisha!❤️
Very smart lady, very wonderful person. When I forgave I put an apartment building in my head and mentally forgave and walked every "bad" incident into a room, opened the door and put the memory inside, shut and locked the door. Sometimes the memory would escape and I had to mentally walk it back to the room, and lock it in again and forgive. I kept that 2 story building in my head for about 10 years before I didn't need it anymore.
Me too. I’m trying not to be angry at the police but having some in my life I know they are trying to survive each shift and in that lose sight of what they were called to do in the first place: serve and protect. Do we protect our police? Do we empower them to do the work needed? Or do we simply give them more weapons and say clean up our streets when it’s not their job; they are to protect us from the streets. Like everything, follow the money and we’ll likely see who (local gov’ts and land developers and special interest groups and lobbyists and psychopaths ) are the ones responsible.
Mental illness has affected alot of us. What really helped me thru was finding a good man who takes care of us. We work together to support our children. For once in my life I feel a great relief. I really want to dedicate the rest of my life helping single Black women.
Wow God bless you for knowing the signs of your depression! if it runs in the family it usual will happen to you genetically. Thank God you understood 'someone failed you' you didn't fail yourself. You're one of the survivor thank God you're here to tell your story. I pray that your life has excelled to this day.
Wow, so very powerful, I was riveted because you tell your story so well so completely that I was on that street corner with you... Good luck , chin up, chest out.
I'm proud Of you beautiful black Queen… you never laid down to die yet you regrouped faced your fears challenged yourself and became something greater in the face of darkness. And that my dear takes courage.
@@destinyAlvarez1 Yes, Destiny forgiving someone who has hurt you very badly is difficult. In my case, it was family members. I am still working through some issues and things do get better, but it is by no means easy.
Oh Keisha, your testimony sums up so much pain that goes unsaid all around us. Thank you for speaking about your past. I'm so glad younare now free. What a sweet presence you have. I'm so sorry you finally felt free to open to a man who didnt know boundaries and abused your confidence. Again, Jesus is so gracious and has truly done a great work in your heart. Purity. Kindness. A faithful friend is what I hear in your voice.
This story made me cry! But I'm so glad she had the strength and determination to overcome all the bad things that had happened to her, she can be a role model for others, I admire her decision to forgive, I pray the rest of her life is as good as she deserves!
You are so beautiful, inside and out !!!! So glad you revisited that little girl and allowed her to be reparented. You are so strong !!!!! And you with your partner was stunning. You’re both beautiful!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This wonderful woman was let down over and over again by everyone who should have looked out for her. The only person who isn't to blame is her mother who couldn't help being ill. And still she has such grace and strength of character to escape her situation and grow into the thoughtful, mature person we see here. I'm sure it was a long and difficult journey to reach that point... if only there was proper funding for social services, proper training for police, a functioning system to protect and care for children and vulnerable people. So many people like her deserved better.
Thank You for Sharing your inspirational story God Bless You and your strength BEAUTIFUL SISTER I HOPE AND PRAY ANOTHER YOUNG LADY HEARS YOUR STORY AND GET HELP!!
Thank you for sharing. You were so well spoken, organized speech, processing and presenting your story in a way that it was visually stimulating. I feel like I kind of knew you or would like to know you. So your presentation to the world or whoever watches the video, will understand your transformation and congratulations to you and your strength. Hopefully you have a faith as well because that’s really really going to give you an extra boost of support, strength, courage, and substance in your life. I wish you nothing but the best.
Thank you for sharing your story. So empowering. I am so glad that you got to a healthy place of acceptance and finding options and choices. The resentment that comes with hatred can consume. You are now showing other's how to forgive, which does not mean you agree with what happened, it means you finally set your heart free from hatred. I am so proud! I don't know you but I am so proud that you could get to this point and now help others. Beautiful!
Keisha May God always stand beside you. May he protect you and anyone that is going or has gone through this. I love you my beautiful sister through God.
This is so incredibly sad! 😔 This system is set up to tear the family structure apart, and ultimately destroy us all! These girls are broken, and they’re from broken families!Father’s and Mother’s,...be there for your babies!💔
I am so very sorry for what you had to endure. Life isn't fair, but our God made provisions for you. Thank you for your testimony. I am truly sorry you had to go thru what you did. God bless you sweet one.🙏♥️

She's not your friend sister, if she's going to introduce you, to some strange creep. A real friend would've never done that sister.💯
True
amen sister preach it
i will pray for keisha i pray she has an easier life now and a blessed one too
she deserves it after all she has went through poor dear :(
4real tho!
Well of course duh. Thats not a profound statement. This woman was young...hurt and desperate.
Like the friend knew how bad he was
There is power in forgiveness...this woman is proof of this. Resentments holds us captive...forgiveness is the key to freedom.

May God Bless you and keep you safe 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your personal story of strife and triumph! You are a beautiful child of God, and an absolute inspiration to all who hear your testimony! May love, peace, and blessings surround you always Keisha!❤️
“I am broken and I am beautiful “ Keisha lovin’ you thru it all!
So many failures brought upon a young life and yet it was the power of your will that turn life around. You have all of my admiration.
It was her and God's intervention.
Very smart lady, very wonderful person. When I forgave I put an apartment building in my head and mentally forgave and walked every "bad" incident into a room, opened the door and put the memory inside, shut and locked the door. Sometimes the memory would escape and I had to mentally walk it back to the room, and lock it in again and forgive. I kept that 2 story building in my head for about 10 years before I didn't need it anymore.
You should have bulldozed the building after.
When people say dont tell, tell anyway.
So true.
@@maiajones5923 That means they r hiding something.
Felicia smith she was little dumbass
When she talked about the officer it made me want to throw up and cry I wish I could’ve rescued her myself
Me too. I’m trying not to be angry at the police but having some in my life I know they are trying to survive each shift and in that lose sight of what they were called to do in the first place: serve and protect. Do we protect our police? Do we empower them to do the work needed? Or do we simply give them more weapons and say clean up our streets when it’s not their job; they are to protect us from the streets. Like everything, follow the money and we’ll likely see who (local gov’ts and land developers and special interest groups and lobbyists and psychopaths ) are the ones responsible.
So proud of u Keisha.. I been thru similar but not as extreme but I had to go thru my process and I want to start telling my story. U inspire me !
Good for you hun!
I'm so proud of her, for the healing she's done, for her self-awareness. So so proud of her. 🌻
Mental illness has affected alot of us. What really helped me thru was finding a good man who takes care of us. We work together to support our children. For once in my life I feel a great relief. I really want to dedicate the rest of my life helping single Black women.
Wow God bless you for knowing the signs of your depression! if it runs in the family it usual will happen to you genetically. Thank God you understood 'someone failed you' you didn't fail yourself. You're one of the survivor thank God you're here to tell your story. I pray that your life has excelled to this day.
Mental health is so important I’m so sorry you went thru this but glad your sharing it to help others God bless you Keisha
Wow, so very powerful, I was riveted because you tell your story so well so completely that I was on that street corner with you... Good luck , chin up, chest out.
I'm proud Of you beautiful black Queen… you never laid down to die yet you regrouped faced your fears challenged yourself and became something greater in the face of darkness. And that my dear takes courage.
Compelling story from a compelling person. I hope she’s living a lovely life now. So brave to speak so openly.
Wow... thank you so much for sharing your story. You are an amazingly strong and courageous young woman.
I'm glad you were able to turn your life around..... keep sharing your story
You led several lives before you were 26. Keep surviving. God bless.
Letting go is the key to freedom. Sometimes you have to let go of the pain from the past, even if you have not yet found it in your heart to forgive.
Lala Shelala it’s so damnnn hard 😢😢i hate forgiving
@@destinyAlvarez1 Yes, Destiny forgiving someone who has hurt you very badly is difficult. In my case, it was family members. I am still working through some issues and things do get better, but it is by no means easy.
@@destinyAlvarez1 Same. I can't forgive and I won't. Hell not even my mother!
I LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL MELANIN QUEEN!!! YOU ARE EVERYTHING..YOU ARE A BLESSING..YOU ARE NOT A SURVIVOR YOU ARE A CONQUERORESS💜💜💜
Girl, you are STRONG!!!
I'm over here tearing up!
It takes a STRONG ASS person to forgive someone, or anyone to the stuff they did to you.
Wow harrowing but a brave soul and inspiring💖💖
How are you doing?I hope and pray be
Need a lifetime movie on this!!!!!
Oh Keisha, your testimony sums up so much pain that goes unsaid all around us. Thank you for speaking about your past. I'm so glad younare now free. What a sweet presence you have. I'm so sorry you finally felt free to open to a man who didnt know boundaries and abused your confidence. Again, Jesus is so gracious and has truly done a great work in your heart. Purity. Kindness. A faithful friend is what I hear in your voice.
This story made me cry! But I'm so glad she had the strength and determination to overcome all the bad things that had happened to her, she can be a role model for others, I admire her decision to forgive, I pray the rest of her life is as good as she deserves!
I so identify with your story. Thank you for your courage, for your example and luv to you !
beautiful powerhouse! mean it! limitless...far reaching - inspired - inspiring
IT'S AWFUL THAT SO MANY WOMEN OUT THERE
CAME FROM THIS KIND OF BEGINGING OF SEVERE ABUSE IN THE HOME..
You're a great inspiration Ms. Keisha. Keep up the Good Work!
I know so many girls who live this lifestyle ! I’m so glad you got out I enjoyed watching ! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️🙌🏾 you are strong 💪🏾
You are so beautiful, inside and out !!!! So glad you revisited that little girl and allowed her to be reparented. You are so strong !!!!! And you with your partner was stunning. You’re both beautiful!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This wonderful woman was let down over and over again by everyone who should have looked out for her. The only person who isn't to blame is her mother who couldn't help being ill. And still she has such grace and strength of character to escape her situation and grow into the thoughtful, mature person we see here. I'm sure it was a long and difficult journey to reach that point... if only there was proper funding for social services, proper training for police, a functioning system to protect and care for children and vulnerable people. So many people like her deserved better.
What a wonderful story!
EXCEPTIONAL! BRAVO KEISHA GOD BLESS YOU!
What a mature realization she had at 26 years old. At 41 I am still fighting my victim mentality, bravo honey. God bless you 💕
Just heartbreaking, completely heartbreaking :(
Thank You for Sharing your inspirational story God Bless You and your strength BEAUTIFUL SISTER I HOPE AND PRAY ANOTHER YOUNG LADY HEARS YOUR STORY AND GET HELP!!
Thank You for your Testimony
There’s such a sweetness and sincerity to her.
Thank you for sharing. You were so well spoken, organized speech, processing and presenting your story in a way that it was visually stimulating. I feel like I kind of knew you or would like to know you. So your presentation to the world or whoever watches the video, will understand your transformation and congratulations to you and your strength. Hopefully you have a faith as well because that’s really really going to give you an extra boost of support, strength, courage, and substance in your life. I wish you nothing but the best.
Thank you ! For sharing your life with all of us !!! May the Lord continue to bless you
Thank you for sharing your story. So empowering. I am so glad that you got to a healthy place of acceptance and finding options and choices. The resentment that comes with hatred can consume. You are now showing other's how to forgive, which does not mean you agree with what happened, it means you finally set your heart free from hatred. I am so proud! I don't know you but I am so proud that you could get to this point and now help others. Beautiful!
This has to be one of the most inspirational stories of conquering evil that I've ever seen!!!! Kudos beautiful lady!!!!!
I survived my childhood troubles by turning what ever part of normalcy into super happy moments
Beautiful turn around! God bless ❤
Keisha, I'm sending you the biggest hugs 💕💗
The creator is great!
Keisha May God always stand beside you. May he protect you and anyone that is going or has gone through this. I love you my beautiful sister through God.
What a lovely, strong woman. I hope you now have peace and you are healing xxxx
I'm glad I watched this; thank you Miss Head. I wish you nothing but happiness.
This is so incredibly sad! 😔 This system is set up to tear the family structure apart, and ultimately destroy us all! These girls are broken, and they’re from broken families!Father’s and Mother’s,...be there for your babies!💔
I am so very sorry for what you had to endure. Life isn't fair, but our God made provisions for you. Thank you for your testimony. I am truly sorry you had to go thru what you did. God bless you sweet one.🙏♥️
You are a brave lady and very articulate .Thanks for sharing your story.
Beautiful story.. I glad you found your way out. Most women don't know how to get free. And know you are an author and a testimony.
You poor woman!42 foster homes! Awful! This whole story is so sickening. I feel so bad for you.
Wow, such a beautiful, teachable story, thank you for sharing. NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO.
