Barbi: Anti-Abuse Activist & Child Sexual Abuse Survivor || Consider Before Consuming Podcast

When Barbi was six years old, she was exposed to pornography by an uncle. She didn’t understand what it was, but she quickly understood what it would lead to-him sexually abusing her. Barbi didn’t fully recognize the connection that pornography played in the sexual abuse during her childhood until a guest speaker talked to her class when she was in high school. After that, she disclosed her abuse to a trusted teacher, who then informed Barbi’s parents about what had happened. Fortunately, Barbi’s parents believed her and were able to go to law enforcement, and her abuser was later convicted in court. Now, Barbi is a loving mother to five kids and is happily married to her husband of twenty years, and she's passionate about educating how pornography is used to groom children for abuse. Hear her story and what she’s doing now to invest in her healing and make her home a safe place for others.
