Mmanti Umoh with her children. |
Reading
through her story will bring out emotions in you, as Mmanti Umoh, shared her
experiences with rape and how she has lived and overcome the scourge.
HER
STORY IS HERE PRESENTED:
21
Years Ago, a 15 year old seeking to find her path was brutally raped by her
employer, all she had to show was a twin birthed 9 months after.
Hid
behind the childhood abuse, layers and layers of Rejection, often criticized,
broken, bruised, she refused to be a statistic and.
...became
the standard to many more young men and women who would be battered, abused....
TODAY.... the evening and the morning and it’s the 21st Birthday of my sons.
Everything has changed since the blood.
Happy
Birthday KanKan and Dada.
IF
I were allowed a choice of my battles, I would have chosen simpler conflicts
but no, this life chose me and I will live it fully.
I
have made a lot of mistakes but each time I look at both of you, I knew I did
the right thing to keep you even when I didn’t know just how.
To
every single teenage mom, to every young person who has been themed a mistake
and misfit... here I stand your validation that “No one and nothing has the
power to define who you become but you!”
Choose
what you will and desire to be.. well.
.....to
thousands of young men and women around Africa and the world who would be
raped, battered, abused and denied a fair hearing just because they see us as
kids.
You
are not voiceless, you won’t forever be hushed. They will hear us.
You
are bruised and beautiful.
When
you think of the Rapist Declare:
I
forgive you
I
let you go
You
inspire me
To
stand up against RAPE
To
speak up and tell my story
I
will do better
I
am proud of me
Thank
you
Unforgiveness
is too heavy to carry around with me. I cannot carry you and grow.
Now
Breathe!!
