Join us for a much-needed conversation with Jeeti Pooni, a survivor, motivational speaker and author as she shares her remarkable journey of healing after trauma. Jeeti's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of advocacy. Alongside her sisters, she made history by confronting their abuser in one of Canada's highest-profile sexual abuse criminal cases. Their bravery underscores the imperative for open dialogue and support for survivors.
Jeeti's experience sheds light on the pervasive issue of intergenerational trauma within our community and the importance of breaking the cycle of silence. As she aptly puts it, "In the system, it's not that we are not believed; it's that we are labeled as liars." Jeeti offers practical advice for confronting trauma, embracing vulnerability, and reclaiming one's voice.
Discover more about Jeeti's acclaimed book, "The Silent Stoning," and her 2019 documentary "Because We Are Girls," as she shares insights into her advocacy work and the impact of her story on fostering cultural change.
Through Jeeti's powerful insights, we are reminded of the necessity for dialogue within our communities, encouraging fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons to stand in solidarity with survivors and champion empathy and understanding. This episode is a call to action for compassion, healing, and the restoration of innocence within ourselves and our communities.
