Changing the Narrative of Your Trauma into Your Off-Broadway Stage Script
When Kesha Brown decided to leave her abusive household at the tender age of nine, she could hardly foresee the profound ripple effect it would have on her life and the life of her mother. Join us in this emotionally charged episode of Real Talk, Real Women Breaking the Silence Around Abuse, where Kesha candidly recounts her childhood trauma and the pivotal moments that led her down a path of healing and empowerment. Through the comforting melodies of Mahalia Jackson and the cathartic process of writing her book, "Girl Get Your Power Back," Kesha navigated the treacherous waters of her past, underscoring the crucial role of therapy and continuous healing.
In our conversation, we also explore the liberating power of forgiveness and the importance of making conscious choices to break free from toxic cycles. Kesha shares heartfelt stories of forgiving her parents and ex-spouses, illustrating how choosing love, joy, and forgiveness can pave the way for a fulfilled and authentic life. We delve into her work with the Healing Exchange, where she uses her creative talents to inspire and heal others, emphasizing the importance of narrative and connection in overcoming trauma.
Keisha Brown's story as a previvor
[note: We all know "survivor" when you live through hell and back, and you end up still being alive, and having to start over your life with a completely different perspective. A "previvor" is someone who chooses to go through proactive measures, such as mastectomy, to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.]
Keisha M. Brown is an advocate, speaker, and writer dedicated to raising awareness about her experiences as a previvor. Having undergone proactive measures to reduce her risk of developing cancer, Keisha shares her inspiring journey and insights into navigating the challenges of being a previvor.
Her passion lies in empowering others facing similar circumstances, offering support, guidance, and a voice of understanding in the realm of cancer prevention and wellness.
Through her advocacy work and personal story, Keisha strives to foster a community of strength, resilience, and hope for individuals confronting the unknowns of genetic predispositions and their impact on health.
Keisha Brown, a beacon of strength and resilience, shares her journey as a previvor navigating the unknown path to wellness. Through her words, she brings a message of hope, healing, and community outreach, illuminating the way for others with warmth and courage.
Keisha's story is one of courage in the face of uncertainty, a reminder that strength can be found in vulnerability. As a previvor, she embodies resilience and determination, paving the way for others to embrace their own journeys with grace and fortitude.
Her experience serves as a guiding light, offering hope and inspiration to those who may be walking a similar path. With her words echoing a message of healing and unity, Keisha shines brightly, showing that even in the midst of challenges, we can find solace in the power of community and the unwavering spirit of the human heart.
Life as a previvor is a journey into the unknown. It is filled with uncertainties and fears, but also with resilience and strength. Facing the unknown is not easy, but with the right mindset and wellness practices, it can become a path to personal growth and self-discovery.
Keisha M Brown's book, "Facing the Unknown", is an honest and inspiring account of her journey as a previvor. Through her story, Brown hopes to inspire others to prioritize their own wellness and take steps towards a healthier, happier life. She believes that by making small changes and incorporating self-care into our daily routines, we can all experience the transformative power of wellness.
The weight of grief is heavy, many people think of grief as losing a loved one, but it is much deeper. In the early part of my journey, I didn’t realize I was grieving the loss of my breast until I removed the bandages.
Brown's journey as a previvor, and her path to wellness, is a testament to the power of resilience, self-care, and the human spirit. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we have the power to take charge of our health and wellbeing, and lead fulfilling, satisfying lives.

Dr. Jennifer Gardella's bio
Jennifer Gardella, Ph.D., is a survivor of domestic violence and a passionate advocate now raising awareness about this pervasive issue. In her debut book "Domestic Violence Awareness: Listen for the Whispers of Abuse" Jennifer shares the remarkable journey she took transforming from victim to advocate.
In the throes of the abusive relationship, Jennifer did not know that it was domestic violence nor that her abuser was slowly dismantling her well-being and life. It was only after her escape that she began to comprehend the intricate layers of abuse and manipulation she had endured.
With unwavering determination, Jennifer has now made it her mission to educate others, ensuring that victims and their friends, loved ones, family members, and colleagues understand that domestic violence extends far beyond physical harm. Her writing focuses on the tactics used by abusers, including emotional and psychological abuse. She emphasizes that we need to keep looking for abuse but also start listening to the stories of victims. Jennifer wants to empower individuals to recognize the signs, offer support, and ultimately help victims break the cycle of domestic violence.
In Jennifer’s personal life, she adores her three fabulous adulting children, her dog Henry, and a great guy who recently slipped an ice-skating rink on her finger. She loves spending time with her circle of trust, to whom she is eternally grateful, as they each played a critical part in her escape.
Jennifer completed her undergraduate work at Fordham University and earned a master's and Ph.D. in educational psychology and statistics from Rutgers University. In her professional life she is a digital marketing consultant with expertise in helping business owners reach ideal clients using blogging and social media.
Jennifer looks forward to connecting with readers and those who work in the domestic violence space. For more information, please visit her website at www.JenniferGardella.com
