Jeremy Indika joins Something For Everybody this week.
Jeremy Indika was sexually abused for two years when he was 8-years old. He now speaks publicly about his experience to break the silence that keeps this crime hidden. With his presentations in schools, a YouTube channel and podcast, he is communicating this topic in a unique way. The platform Something to Say which he founded to give others the space to share their story is the movement he believes will go worldwide.
Jeremy Indika discusses his work in raising awareness about child sexual abuse and the challenges he faces in getting into schools to speak about the topic. He shares his personal story of abuse and the journey of healing and empowerment. The conversation also touches on the hesitations of schools to address the issue, the importance of story sharing and providing hope, and the need for proactive measures in preventing abuse. The impact of childhood abuse on relationships and identity is explored, as well as the importance of addressing the issue of offenders. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the impact of pornography on young people and the need for age restrictions and regulations. This conversation explores the regulation of pornography websites, the comparison to the journey of smoking, the downstream effects of pornography on young men, the adversarial nature of modern dating, the importance of good health and relationships, the need for intentionality in viewing sexuality, the potential correlation between pornography and offending, the impact of sexual abuse on suicide rates, creating a supportive community for survivors, preventing youth suicide, and moving forward after tragedy.
