About WE Survive Abuse Podcast
Meet the Host
Tonya GJ Prince 
Tonya GJ Prince isn’t just a veteran professional Survivor advocate, trainer, and group facilitator from the non-profit and law enforcement sector; she’s a curator of healing. Tonya is the Survivalist with a soulful twist.
What to Expect When You Press Play:
Deep Dives with a Groove: One minute she’s discussing the history of Black marching bands as a form of resistance, and the next, she’s helping you navigate intrusive thoughts with the comforting cadence of a Southern Black church deaconess.
No-Nonsense Compassion: Tonya brings that “I’ve been in the fire” energy. She’s the friend who will hold your hand through the hard stuff and then hand you a vintage soul record to help you dance it off.
Global Impact, Local Heart: Admired from the U.S. to the U.K. (and beyond!), she’s a published author and a powerhouse advocate who treats every listener like they’re the most important person in the room.
Whether she’s exploring Womanist perspectives or helping you write your own “self-love letter”, Tonya’s voice is the soulful hug your earbuds have been waiting for.
Pull up a seat, catch the vibe, and let’s survive—and thrive—together.
Her beloved new cat P-Funk hates when her attention is diverted. Her mission is to complete each episode before he crashes the entire thing.
The We Survive Abuse Podcast is hosted by Tonya GJ Prince, founder of WeSurviveAbuse.com, SurvivorAffirmations.com, BraidtheLadder.com, Rosaschildren.com and other projects. She is a longtime advocate for dignity, safety, and healing.
This space was created with care for listeners who carry a great deal in their bodies and minds. Many people who arrive here have lived through difficult experiences, and sometimes even conversations about healing can feel overwhelming. Because of that, these episodes are offered in a calm, steady voice and a thoughtful pace.
There is no rush here.
Each conversation is meant to feel more like a quiet moment on a front porch than a loud broadcast. A place where truth can be spoken clearly, where Survivors are respected, and where listeners can pause, breathe, and take in what is helpful.
Some episodes offer reflection.
Some explore patterns that affect safety and dignity.
Some simply remind us that wisdom, instinct, and resilience are still alive within us.
Listeners are always encouraged to take what is useful, leave what is not, and care for themselves along the way.
