Straight from the Production Office of A Friend of the Family—Fior Baptiste: Unquantifiable Damage

Straight from the Production Office of A Friend of the Family—Fior Baptiste: Unquantifiable Damage

Can sexual trauma, with all its resulting shame, pain, and rage, really be turned into…art? Jan  and guest Fior Baptiste (musician, screen writer) discuss reclaiming their light after the darkness of abuse. Fior shares not only the details of her personal journey, but also her will to create, and to find some benefit that can be found in expressive arts. She says “The trauma is gonna mess with me on a residual level and I need some balance. The way I balance is through my art.” Fior has no shortage of poetic wisdom to share on the healing journey. “I spent years trying to snuff out my own light because I didn’t want any more darkness to find it.” If that sounds like what you're going through, this episode will give you reason to believe in yourself again—here's two honest souls resisting the darkness and shining the light of strength and hope.
