The horrors our guest this week, Amanda Blackwood, endured
almost from birth are hard to hear. Decades of physical, emotional
and sexual abuse … but heartache was not the end of her story.
Healing was.
Our interview with Blackwood, by necessity, covers the traumas
she experienced being sex-trafficked on more than one occasion. But
make no mistake about it: Amanda Blackwood may have been
victimized, but she has emerged as anything but a victim. She
fought for freedom from the demons of her past, assisted by therapy
and her faith, to emerge as an author, artist and public speaker
who offers hope to women who’ve been wounded by the same
devastating crucibles.
“The first time I got up on a stage I had a speaking voice
like a mouse,” she says. “But I found there was a lion in my
lungs.”
