010: Teen Dating Violence: Good Girls DO Kiss & Tell w/Juanita Foster

 


Episode 010 of Get Naked LIVE features Juanita
Foster, Leadership & Team Development Expert, Speaker,
Trainer, and Consultant.  In this episode
Juanita shares her story of experiencing teen dating violence
while being a mother at the age of fifteen.  She recounts
the first time she was hit by the father of her child, how she
hid it from her family and friends while still attending school,
and how she finally got out.


 
In this episode we see how unfortunate circumstances such as
teen dating violence can take you to your breaking point, and
how you can use those same circumstances to propel to your place of
victory.

 


Growing up Juanita found herself a parent at the tender age of
fifteen, taking care of siblings because her mom had succumb to
drug abuse, and fighting desperately to keep the state’s Child
Protective Services out of their lives.   She used that
“strong black woman strength” that we all desperately cling to,
to not only save her life, but to save her child’s life and the
lives of her siblings.
Some of the episode’s defining moments
include:

Being in an abusive relationship at the age of fifteen while
tackling being in an abusive relationship

How she had to leave her son with his paternal grandmother to
save their lives

The physical scars she’s still living with and how she
overcame the emotional scars

How her abuser alienated her from her friends and how she
ended up living with his family

How the strong black women in her family helped her make sure
the state didn’t get involved

How she lied to her family and friends of about the abuse
