    Tasha Wilson, Trauma & Tragedy Sensationalized Shattering Her World Part 4

    Tasha Wilson, Trauma & Tragedy Sensationalized Shattering Her World Part 4

    Tasha grew up in a home that from the outside looked like a stereotypical middle-class family. The reality was Tasha was conflicted early in life by who she was inside and who she had to pretend to be on the outside. She was raised in a strict religious environment that was governed by religious beliefs and rules that allowed for little or no flexibility.   Tasha’s internal struggles began to manifest in ways that would lead to a series of bad decisions.

    Tasha’s inability to express herself and accept her own sexuality, caused her to lead a secret life. Her increasing use of drugs and alcohol ultimately led her to be the victim of sexual assault.   The consequences were not asked for nor deserved but would ultimately result in an unexpected pregnancy from the predator who had violated her.

    Overwhelmed with shame and guilt, Tasha was unable to share her story with anyone other than her closest friend, another drug addict she thought she could trust. What happened next would result in the world unraveling around her and that of the family her secrets had been hidden from.   The stillbirth of her child, her own life in peril from her loss of blood, and the feelings of hopelessness and desperation of a young girl would be the catalyst for an innocent, yet devastating mistake.

    Tasha would now become the victim of the criminal justice system, as she was incarcerated and now left without hope.   God, faith, and forgiveness transformed a story of hopelessness and guilt, into a story of restoration and second chances that everyone deserves.

    Sheena Renee - Child Convict Part 2

    Sheena Renee - Child Convict Part 2

    Today my guest on iCON, is Sheena Renee, Sheena had a hard childhood growing up, beaten, sexually abused, and left to run with the wrong crowd, drinking and drugs were easy to get to numb the pain. By 15 she was out on her own and married her drug dealer in order to get away from the toxic home life, it didn't get better, but worse. Her husband now beat her and tormented her, she tried to leave but was always found. This became a cycle of abuse that ended when some friends worried about her being found and murdered, killed her husband. Sheena was locked up and while awaiting trial, she was raped inside the jail by a guard and was finally sentenced to life without parole, death by incarceration. For a crime that she wasn’t present for, didn’t ask for or conspire regarding the murder and her plaintiffs never served but were released. Once in prison, she finally felt safe…..
