I finally realized that all my fear and my uncomfortable feeling with people are from that traumatic event.
Michelle M. Kang's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Born in South Korea and now a leading figure in Vietnam, Michelle's journey is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. She faced the trauma of sibling sexual assault during her childhood, an experience that could have shattered her. Instead, she used her pain as a catalyst for change, founding One Life One Heart, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting underserved survivors of sexual abuse with culturally sensitive care.
In this episode of 'Finding OK', Michelle opens up about her personal healing journey and the pivotal role faith played in it. With multiple PhDs under her belt and a position as Dean of the School of Foreign Languages at Saigon International University, she exemplifies strength and determination. Michelle discusses the importance of creating safe spaces where survivors can regain their self-confidence and find their purpose in life.
She delves into the unique challenges of serving survivors from diverse cultural backgrounds and emphasizes the necessity of providing children with the language to express their experiences of abuse. Michelle also touches on how reading and personal reflection have been instrumental in her healing process. Through One Life One Heart, Michelle aims to build a community where survivors can connect, feel heard, and heal together.
This episode is not just about overcoming trauma; it's about transforming it into a mission to help others. Whether you're a survivor yourself or know someone who is, Michelle's story offers hope and practical insights into the healing process.
