  • On Unfiltered Stories, Michelle Angelique Poitier opens up about the challenges she's faced throughout her life's journey. At the tender age of 6, she experienced an unthinkable violation by a trusted family member that deeply impacted her sense of security and self-worth.
    For years, Michelle attempted to suppress this traumatic memory, but its effects cast a long shadow that manifested in unhealthy patterns and mental health struggles, including multiple suicide attempts. Ultimately, Michelle made the brave decision to confront her past head-on and embarked on an empowering path towards healing from those childhood wounds. Her candid narrative offers hope about overcoming even the darkest of experiences. #unfilteredstories #healingjourney #survivorstory #mentalhealth #innercourage

    “Children should be seen and not heard” was the detriment of so many young people back in the day, and even now.
    Shame on our elders for blaming and shaming us! “You must have enjoyed it” is thee most demeaning and cruel thing a “trusted” person could say to a victim.
    I’m so glad you survived and are healing, Ma’am.

      ​​@@MichelleSpeakzThat part hit me hard. I went through the same and I told my grandmother whom I lived with and was raised by and she asked me " So what do u want me to do?" That's was 20 years ago I was 16. I'll be 36 in May and still can't get over it.

      Her grandmother actually set her up. Who leaves a little girl with a grown man, especially an unstable grown man? People try to say they trust these men but their response to the abuse shows they had malicious intent.
