Angela Johnson, Guest Speaker/Author
Angela Marie shares a poignant journey from trauma to redemption, weaving her struggle with identity, the pain of rejection, and the impact of past traumas.
​
My book, The Naked Truth Redeemed was birthed out of my pain. I didn’t realize how broken I was. I was tired of repeating the same cycles over and over again and not getting different results. I finally decided to start therapy, give my life to Christ, and allow him to redeem me of all the labels that I had tattooed on myself over the years!
​
Labels like: shame, guilt, rejection, fear, abuse, etc.
I was a victim, but now I know that I don’t have to allow my experiences in my past to define me in my future. I continued to take one day at a time; however, after giving my life to Christ, I noticed something different, and I began to start healing. I found peace!
​
I was emotionally isolated because I didn’t want to expose my “issues”. I felt like I was dealing with my life experiences alone, but God revealed that many women are suffering in silence.
“We are all kindred spirits not through our perfections, but our imperfections.”
​
I created The Naked Truth Redeemed movement, as a means of expression for women to feel safe and talk about their issues. The Naked Truth Redeemed is a haven for women to know that they are not alone in their issues. We don’t suffer alone, in fact, a lot of us share similar trauma, heartache, and pain.
