Broken Vessels Podcast Host Latoya Washington sits down for a candid conversation with Lavinia Masters. She is a victim Advocate, Lavinia B. Masters, a native of Waco, Texas is a loving wife, mother & grandmother, writer & author, life coach, moderator, inspirational & public speaker, and entrepreneur. Lavinia B. Masters struggled for many years emotionally, mentally, and psychologically after childhood sexual abuse and a brutal rape at the age of 13 years old before discovering and implementing seven steps to her true empowerment after sexual trauma through prayer and supplications. No matter the audience or venue, her public voice as a survivor of rape always acknowledges her faith, i.e. the trust she has in God who transformed her from a girl of misery into a woman of ministry. This transformation rescued her from the debilitating emotional, mental, and behavioral issues that defined her existence for decades following childhood sexual abuse and rape at 13 years old. Today, she no longer just “exist;” rather, her life as a survivor-turned-advocate has brought her to the floor of the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Department of Justice and the White House Task Force on Rape. Lavinia opens up to share her testimony of hope, redemption, and restoration.
