Rebecca Deng's Harrowing and Hope-Filled Journey from Sudan
Manage episode 447423907 series 3602099
Join me for a powerful conversation with Rebecca Deng, a remarkable woman and mother who has defied all odds. Growing up in the midst of war in Sudan, Rebecca lost her father in the war and her mother and baby sibling died during childbirth. After evading a pending child marriage, at just 15, she gave birth to her first daughter, a heartbreaking consequence of wartime rape in a Kenyan refugee camp. Despite these trials, Rebecca's spirit remained unbroken. She immigrated to the United States, has had two more children, and is an incredible beacon of hope for survivors of trauma.
In this episode, Rebecca shares her extraordinary story, offering a glimpse into the Dinka tribe's birthing and child-rearing practices and the cultural differences she encountered in the United States. Discover the resilience and strength that have shaped her life, and learn how her journey can inspire others to overcome adversity.
