The “i” In victim? | Rapheal Mitchell | TEDxMarionCorrectional

Respect to you bro, so many painful moments yet you have overcome, you are no longer a victim, you are a surviver.
Watching this made me cry. I do hope someone comes into your life and shows you the love you truly deserve.
No one deserves what you went through, especially at the hands of family. I hope you find peace. I hope God heals your pain.
Thank you for sharing your story, and for proving that no matter how broken one is, no matter how much trauma you have faced- you can always be healed. Thank you so much for sharing, may God's peace stay with you.

Heal and protect others.
Last night I made decision to take my life back and be victim no more. This video encourages me a lot!!! Thanks!
What a horrible family, and a horrible life. Thank you for sharing.
I’m speechless at your will to WIN!! Wish I was your friend growing up I would have defended you, and lived with me.....you are such a bright light!! Sending motherly Love🙏🏽
Wow. It’s the grace of God that allows you to still stand and give your testimony. That is a lot to go through and endure.
Thank you for being a shining light for all who have walked/or who are walking a similar journey. Thank you for inspiring us with your courage to love - loving yourself enough to say No, not anymore. Thank you for your strength to be vulnerable again. Thank you for letting us know we CAN heal, if we CHOOSE to walk the path of love. You've reflected depths of pain inherent in each of us; you've reflected the love that unites us. Thank you for being you...there is a light at the end of the tunnel, And you've shown us the way - it is the path to our own Heart.
Thank you for telling your story. Shame on the broken people who hurt you.
I am honored to hear you share your story. I'm not even through yet, but couldn't wait to comment. I'm so sorry for the pain you've endured. You are a remarkable, deep, self-aware, beautiful human being. Don't you dare ever forget that.Much peace & love to you. Thank you for your courage. XoXoX
Thank you for sharing your story. Love and peace be with you.
Furious at his family. I want to see them held accountable. To defile a child is one of the most depraved things to do.
Wow. You radiate strength and light. May the rest of your life be peaceful brother.
Thank you Raphael for your courage to share your story. You are amazing.
Youre amazing! So glad he shared
You are a victor now !!!! Keep your head up and realize you helped a lot of people. I know a lot of women that need to see this. Thank you for sharing
Thankyou for sharing our story with us. It gave me lot of courage to fight. "I felt safe" - that was beautiful 💜
That was so good. I'm so glad I clicked on this one. It flowed very well too!
WOW!! I can relate in many ways.. my friend.. Healing, strength and vision.
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing this, it makes us survivors feel not so alone.
Nobody should have to endure that I’m life 😪 what a brave man for now speaking out 🙏🏻
Amazing strength! He will help so many.
Why is this ted talk not so popular as the others? Watching this I can’t believe how good I’ve had it.. what a trooper.
The insight to realize the defaults of those responsible for us and be able to turn it around and become whole is worth more than gold.
God bless you brother. May you continue to shine for The Lord! 🙏
WOW, You may never know how many lost souls you've helped but I guarantee you did.
That was amazing thank you so much you are an inspiration
You're also a stylish young man. Great glasses and color choices in your clothing. I'm praying for you to find your best life possible from here on. Kind of odd, but you are a stronger man not because you were a victim, but because you came out of it. Awesome. You're authentic confidence and quality presentation is impressive. You articulate well and it looks like many if not most of your scars are healing well or have healed. Good job!!! There are a lot of jobs that many would be glad to hire you to do.
Respect to you and happiness
You have endured, we got to continue don't give up, I am going to continue also, what else is there, let's do what we can to turn darkness to light, what fun.
Bravo i Salut you. Thank you 🙏🏽
Bless you xx
Awesome talk. You're a good man. Wish we were friends.
Wow! What a remarkable human being.
Thanku bro for sharing this this will help us a lot 👍
You’re an Inspiration
You are brave and beautiful!!
No child should have to go through what you went through, people do so many wrong things in this world. There is no justice
I am in tears!
