Musician and photographer, TY Bello, has revealed that being silent after she was sexually abused killed her slowly.
In her Instagram post on Monday, the 40-year-old said that she only found relief because of her relationship with God.
“I remember how the silence I had to keep after the abuse slowly killed me .. I also remember the relief I found in my relationship God so early .That really was my rescue ..yet for decades I could never find my voice on the matter .. I was still afraid ..Mostly because I felt it may have been the fault of my seven year old self ..somehow.. Fast forward .. almost thirty years later ..I knew better .. and was ‘big’ enough .. I understood the importance of stepping up when it was time to share my story ,” she wrote.
Women have been recounting their sexual abuse experiences since Busola Dakolo alleged that she was raped by the senior pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Biodun Fatoyinbo.
