If you have experienced rape or sexual assault, this is your episode.  My guest, Michael Ward, was raped and later sexually assaulted by the same perpetrator.  A few years later, he endured sexual assault again, this time from a man he was in relationship with.  With no real support from family of other gay friends, these experiences caused Michael to take a long hard look at his life and the choices he was making.  At one point, he considered taking his own life.  Instead, he got creative in ways to feed his spirit in a manner that would ultimately lead him to seek professional help with a trauma counselor.  Today, Michael has made great progress on his journey of healing and is following his passion of empowering marginalized communities.Michael's ProfileBe a GuestFollow Us on FacebookPower Moments With MaddoxAll Maddox's Links
