Sexually abused at age 7 by her uncle, author narrates experience in a book "Broken But Beautiful" ....unveils coaching school for wholeness

 

As the world grabble with the scourge of rape and child molestation, a young Nigerian author, Vera Alex has narrated how she was sexually abused consistently by her uncle at the age of seven and the effect of the abuse on her life.

In her book titled "Broken But Beautiful", which was presented to the public in Lagos on Saturday, the graduate of Immerse Coaching Company, said her life  was a "mess and wreck" as a young woman growing up with such horrible experience.

The author who stated this in her speech at the occasion revealed that: "At the age of seven, I was raped by my own uncle and continuously molested for years. I failed terribly academically. You wouldn't even be able to paint any form of success in my future.

"I was rejected by everyone around me. My friends weren't my friends. I had extremely busy parents. They were trying to give us the financially free life.

"You definitely can't blame them. It didn't feel like I had potential of something good in me.

"My life  was a mess and wreck. I was blamed time and time again for things I did and didn't do. And guess what? Life taught my generation to keep quiet. Don't talk about it!

"I am the least likely to be where I am right now and it's not even close to the beginning of the impact I'm  about to make." 

Further speaking on why she chose to write the book, Alex said: "I wrote this book on the details of my story. I have also started to coach people that had so much negativity and failure in their past. From my experience of coaching, I have seen how negative voices from the past start to display and dictate a future if we don't face them and rather just block them out because we think we have gotten over them."

On why she started her coaching school, the young author said: "I love to see people love hence my coaching. I coach people to learn the art of dating themselves so that they can see real deep beauty they have absolutely never seen in themselves.

"I teach them to fall in love with themselves and place a high value on themselves by this beauty."
