I was caught in the crossfire of my parents’ abuse—something I later experienced from my father and then my stepfather. No child deserves that. No human being deserves that. I will forever be an advocate for survivors of childhood abuse and domestic violence. I wish someone protected little layla but I know how deeply these experiences can shape you, and I believe there is power in speaking about the things we were once forced to suffer through in silence. There is so much more to my story—more than I’ve ever shared publicly. More to come in my memoir, MAN OF MY HOUSE, coming June 8th, 2027. 🤍
