Sexual Abuse-The Ties that Bind

Sexual abuse leaves deep emotional and spiritual wounds, often creating ties that bind victims to generational curses, toxic relationships, and cycles of silence. This transformative talk by Cortina Jackson delves into the overlooked realities of abuse within families, schools, and even churches—spaces that should provide safety but too often become sources of harm. She addresses the lasting impact of abuse by older adults, family members, and trusted figures, as well as the unique struggles faced by women attempting to heal and move forward.

Tailored for high school and college audiences, survivors, and faith-based communities, this session also shines a light on how unaddressed abuse leads to "church hurt" and perpetuates cycles of trauma. Cortina offers tools for recognizing abuse, breaking free from destructive patterns, and fostering healing. With a message of hope and empowerment, this talk inspires individuals and communities to confront pain.

Testimonials (3)
  • Cortina and I worked together on my TV Show, The Irresistible Life. She was one of the MCs for the Premiere. I got to know her through this process and I was amazed at her willing flexibility, her grace under pressure, her expertise on how to hold an audience, her flair for storytelling, and her acceptance of feedback. She was unafraid to speak about anything and I welcomed her conversation and her company. The Irresistible Life will be on the ZondraTV Network after January 16, 2025. Come and catch Cortina in action! Then, ask her to speak at your event and listen to the rave reviews! You won't regret it!
