Our Editor's Take

I, Survivor is a triumphant and powerful listen about the stories of those who have endured trauma, harassment, or assault. But it is not about victims. This podcast focuses on those that have risen up and overcome their pasts. Those that have processed pain and hurt in an ongoing journey of resilience and strength. Jenna Brister and Wagatwe Wanjuki bring hope and positivity to these difficult subjects. They focus less on the harsh dark realities and shift the focus to triumph. Those who fall can rise again, and I, Survivor tells their story.

Trauma is not an identity, and this podcast underlines that. Rather than victimizing, it lives in power. That does not mean that the pain of the past gets forgotten or trivialized, though. The hosts work a perfect balance between respect and positivity. The aim is to overcome and not forget the hurt that brought the survivors to where they are today.

Through their stories, listeners can relate and gain inspiration. Shared experience is powerful and can help in the healing process. I, Survivor celebrates survivors and their stories. It is a motivational listen that reminds listeners that they are not their past or their pain. Despite their hurts, they can rise above and go on to do great things. Insightful, emotional, and full of power, this is a must-listen experience.
