    Myth vs Fact

    In today’s episode we spend time tackling some of the harmful myths around child sexual abuse and other forms of child abuse. We touch on a wide variety of different myths like how we believe strangers are the most likely to abuse children, that boys can’t be sexually abused, and that children false reporting CSA is happening at high rates. By us continuing as a society to treat these myths as fact we in turn leave many children and survivors of child abuse with detrimental lifelong suffering and adds to the continued stigmatization of abuse survivors and their experiences. Trigger Warning: Topics include child sexual abuse, physical child abuse, emotional abuse, victim blaming, and possibly other sensitive topics.

    About Me Q&A

    In the 10th episode of Jada's Advocacy we change up the pace with a Q&A! I go over 20+ questions about myself ranging from basic questions like my favorite color, to what my morning routine looks like. I also touch on a few deeper questions like what I want to be remembered by when I'm no longer here, and an accomplishment that I am most proud of. This episodes goal is to demonstrate that survivors are more than their trauma and abuse, and to show other survivors there is hope for brighter days if they are currently going through a hard time. Survivors are people with hobbies, passions, and favorite colors, just like anyone else. Our trauma doesn't define us, but it is and always will be a huge part of most of our lives.

We take a deeper dive into how and why I decided to go no contact with my bio mother, we hear how my issue with anger leads me to reach out to my abusers and break no contact over and over.

    P Stands for Predator

    In Episode 5 we hear a little bit about a traumatic sexual assault I survived at age 17 at the hands of my best friends 27 year old boyfriend. Listen to how I decided 5 years after the assault I was ready to report the man to the police, and how the age of consent laws kept me confused and silent as a teenager. TRIGGER WARNING- Explicit details involving rape and sexual violence, mention of drinking and driving, underage drug use, and other topics that may be triggering for some listeners. Keep this episode away from small ears. For legal purposes I will be censoring the legal names of the predator throughout the episode, if you live or have lived in Oregon specifically in the Gresham, Portland, Beaverton areas. I will gladly send you his legal name.
