About Branon

 Hi, I'm Branon,

"For forty years, I lived a life of abuse and trauma, and it was only five years later that I began to tell my story.

At six years old I was sexually abused and assaulted by my step brother, and friends of the family. In addition, I was also physically and emotionally abused by my parents,. My childhood abuse continued over the next ten years. I know an awful lot about how childhood abuse can have a lasting impact on adulthood, affecting our self-esteem, academic and career performance, and our ability to form close relationships. Out of my abuse, I learned to survive the absence of safety, security, and validation during my most formative years. 

The day I embraced freedom marked the beginning of my journey to break free from the cycle of abuse, albeit at a considerable cost. I had to cease hiding the trauma, pain, and lies to expose my abuse and truly heal. As a survivor, I will always be on a healing journey. Nothing like healing brings greater inner peace.

With the support I needed as a child, I stopped hiding my past pain and began to confront my shadows and share my story because it matters."
