A Safe Place to Heal: Lilada’s Living Room
On this Monday’s edition of FOXOLOGY TODAY I talk with Lilada Gee, founder of Lilada’s Livingroom, a nonprofit organization supporting women who are victims of child sexual abuse. Showtime is 12NOON CST. I hope you’ll listen in! About today’s Guest: Lilada Gee was 6 years old the first time an adult family member sexually abused her. Throughout the ensuing years, she struggled with issues related to the abuse; including clinical depression, post-traumatic stress and low self-esteem. Now, as an adult, she is committed to helping girls and women who are victims of child sexual abuse, heal. Lilada’s Livingroom began in the living room of Lilada’s home, after she publically shared her tumultuous journey of healing from childhood sexual abuse. Girls and women who were in the audience started showing up at her home, in her living room to find a safe place to heal. Since that time, Lilada has traveled from coast-to-coast and abroad, creating safe places for women and girls to rid themselves of the shame, secrets and stigmatism of abuse.
