Sep 16 Chit Chat 003 : Child Abuse with Karuna Chani

““I think the worst part of my life - the worst days - are over. I’ve gone through so much between husbands and losing a child and being raped and being molested. It’s a colorful life for a young person. I’m 44 and I consider that young. If I can go through that and survive; now I think life is going to be a piece of cake.””

— Karuna Chani

Karuna Chani is making it her mission to spread global awareness on child abuse. There really is no easy way to digest these all too common incidents of abuse, molestation and rape but the conversation is invaluable in helping others know when and how to seek help. It is invaluable in helping other knows that they are not alone. It is invaluable in helping others know that these horrific incidents may define your past and present but they do not have to define your future. It is my sincerest hope that these will be the outcome of our chat that you can listen to here.
