My name is Shumba Jula known as Shumba Kennard i was adopted from ethiopia when I was 9 years old. My adopted father started sexually abusing me, when i was 10 years old until I was 21yrs old. The reason I want to be part of this program is I feel that no one should ever have too go through, what I went through. I felt alone, confused, and embarrasse , but none of that belong to me. I just want my voice to be heard,and through my voice maybe I could help someone and let them know that they are not alone and that they can cry on my shoulder.
