- This conversation is a very very heavy one. There is a lot of talk about abuse. On the couch today is Shamsa. She is a FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) survivor. She talks in real depth about the abuse she suffered and over coming that trauma. It's a hard listen but it was a very important conversation. Thanks for listening

#HCPOD
What Shamsa said about the men having the power to stop this is so true. As a Somali woman I am very lucky not to have undergone fgm and that is because my father was vehemently against it.
My heart goes out to all the woman that have had this done to them💔
Unfortunately, it is not only the men. The women need to continue to speak up against it. Women do brutalize other women (in the story it was the grandma 👵 with the help of another woman that did the procedure). It needs to end now.
And the fact u said lucky is heartbreaking it should be norm to grow up without that fear we have enough to fear out there as it is
@Nomopoly 2 you must be a Farax. I hope you never have daughters to inflict this cruelty on.
@@nomopoly2515huh

This sister is so special. She helped me with my own FGM experience and she answered my questions and sincerely sent me the best advice… someone who is a complete stranger. She’s truly a good person and I wish nothing but the best for her.

Really sorry you had to go through that. My heart goes out to you🤍
@@ruqaya2391 thank you love
Aww I was the one that recommended her I am so glad her story was put on this platform ❤ much love shamsa keep advocating for fem surviours
Thank you!!!! A story that needs to be heard...women supporting women regardless❤❤❤ you are a gem babe 👑
@@AS-bj5ff thank you x
Thank you so much for recommending this amazing woman
@@lailahopf4370 that’s ok I’m glad her story is becoming something
Omg you are the real GOAT for recommending it may God bless you 💙💙💙
I have never felt so much pain for a person. She is honestly the strongest person I have ever heard of
It was so hard to listen to she’s very strong
she is a typical doqon
Heart wrenching 🙏🏻💔 🙏🏻
What a cruel and barbaric reality some women have to go through for the sake of a few perverted narrow minded individuals. Such a shame she was treated so poorly by her family, glad she's now free and enjoying life
💔🙏🏻💔
Many of us have thanked our lucky stars that places like the UK have accepted us, blacks, Asians Muslims and non Europeans.
As a Somali from the west , knowing this happened to my mothers and aunties is so sad but I’m grateful also for being in the diaspora to avoid this trauma
💕🙏🏻💕
Say thank you to Britain, they have saved many of you.
Honestly, her story breaks my heart, but I’m so glad she has the strength to keep fighting for herself and other young Africans. God bless her 🖤🦋
I’m sat at home and can’t stop my tears from running down. Her story is a pure reflection of resilience and survival. I’m proud of her without even knowing this wonderful woman, and I’m glad she is here today. My hope forward is that we will keep on talking about FGM and abuse towards women 💗
Her brother her dad her uncle all the men are wicked and deserve anything bad that happens to them
Don’t do that men are just as victim to the old age barbaric cultural
Practices as women
The fact that cruelty and savagery towards women is passed down and perpetuated to women and against them, and it’s “normal” makes you realize how many things we need to change from our past that’s continuing today rather than these minute problems today that are mostly about opinions. When did we care more about beliefs, and new injustices rather than rights and humane treatment for everyone 😔 our world needs help!
@@nomopoly2515are you well? Get out of here?
@@nomopoly2515: You are a monster!
@@nomopoly2515keep your f**king self in line - wtf is wrong with you?!!
Utmost respect to Shamsa and the HC Podcast for covering such a deep, triggering and emotive topic. Highlighting cultures, navigating traditions / practises and how to move forward - wow! So much love and respect ❤❤
Pray lord is watching u
This was THE GREATEST POD. Thank you so, so much for sharing this conversation to both of you. So educational, we need more stuff like this.
I had to listen to this across a couple days because it was a very difficult listen, but incredibly strong woman and she should be so proud of what she's doing in life given everything she'd been through. Amazing.
The fighting spirit that her parents saw in Shamsa as a young child & did everything to stifle and silence in order to conceal the practice of fgm and abuse taking place in the family is the same spirit that she is now blessing us with through her life story. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, sending you much love & so much strength, we see you, you are now safe. ❤
I listened for 3/4 of the video. I broke down when Shamsa cried about her mum. The common trend in her story is the lack of education and abuse against women. Some women get abused in their culture just because they were born a woman. The pain behind this woman is so immense and she's so brave for sharing her story. I love that she's on her healing journey and despite all this, her faith in her religion is still consistent. Thank you for posting.
May Allah punish all those that failed you in your story. You deserve the best Shamsa, keeping doing what you do best sis ❤
I ensured to watch this to the end and it was so painful to hear this story! Your entire family has failed you, including your mother! so much so that you're saying sorry for something you didn't do....I realised the muslim community always shout Allah's name when it suits them yet they do such evil and barbaric things!
I'm so disgusted the way they treat their women😢 I wish this lady nothing but healing and blessings.
Lastly...chuckie this was a great use of your platform thank you.
This was such an uncomfortable story to listen to and it pains me to hear the things these young women have had to go through, but so important that these topics are talked about and explored so we can understand and be better and more supportive of eachother in finding what truly is wrong and right. God help humanity find peace ❤
This is powerful..Somebody should make her story into a film or a play and give her the profits ❤️
She's not the only one
the trauma she’s faced yet is so strong and changing the world. Thanks for bringing her on ❤
I have never felt so touched by a voice. Shamsa is so so strong. Hearing her story made me sob. And hearing her help kids in the same situation filled me with pride.
holy f**k man this is horrendously tragic. Thank you for bringing the conversation to light
My mum was a midwife and would tell me about the complications that FGM sufferers would have when it came to giving birth. Extremely saddening for those women, and some of them just believed their vagina was meant to be cut that way..
Sounds like her family didn’t value or truly love her. How her dad punching her in the stomach 4 times at 8 years old. Crazy to me.
Such a powerful story. This woman is a strong kind hearted beautiful black woman he soul is pure. Chuckie big props to you for highlighting this and giving the woman a platform to speak her truth and your approach to it is clean. 👏🏾🙌🏾
First podcast episode that made me shed tears. The story at the end. Sheesh. Bless Shamsa. And big up Chuckie for using the platform to bringing interesting stories & perspectives to the forefront.
Me too, as a woman as a human its so hard to process. Shamsa amazing x
this made me sob so much. may Allah grant Shama an abundance of happiness and ease for all of her suffering. I’m so sorry sis and thank you for using your voice to educate. being Somali i know how important it is that these stories are heard. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
To quote Shamsa "i felt like i left my own body" in traumatic times this is a true reflection of our Soul connection with the self. Once we connect with our own soul i beleive we connect with people on deeper more meaninful ways. Shamsa's story is profound and highly charging in feeling of self mastery. Thankyou Shamsa for sharing your journey through life, enlightenment, empowerment and most importantly Motherhood x
Wow...the pain of this story is so intense, you can almost feel it as she speaks it, and she does it so fearlessly despite the many emotions and memories that im sure that it still brings. Shes such a beautiful soul and an even stronger woman, and im sure that if her mother saw her now, she'd be so proud of all of who she is, and all of who she has grown to become.
My God, this woman has been through too much! She deserves nothing but the best. I hope her story reaches many more people. This is a really important and relevant conversation.
The whole story was so emotional but when she spoke about her mother when she came back to visit her I actually broke down.
Amazing episode. Almost had a panic attack but this has shown me how important mums and dads are in a child's life.
I feel so much more empowered to be a great and supportive mum
When chuckie said « men need to stand up » 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥 it’s so true! In order for things to change it can’t just be women standing up against this. Same goes with racism or any crime/ injustice
This was a much needed conversation. Women who went through F.G.M have suffered and still carry that trauma with them throughout womanhood. Love & Light to this sister whose putting herself out there speaking about this issue cause its not an easy conversations to have.
The bravery it takes to be able to share your story and trauma with others is massive. Thank you so much for being open and educating us on such a difficult topic. I wish you nothing but peace, healing and love for the future. Such a powerful conversation
This story was so emotional to hear
I have family members who unfortunately have gone through FGM - really glad to see Chuckie cover this topic. God Bless you Shamsa & keep doing what you’re doing. You are literally saving lives! We have got to protect our women.
😢 ignorance is dangerous, this is horrific. I wonder how many have died due to this “procedure”?
Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for providing her a platform chuckie!! May her life be filled with blessings going forward, she deserves it all. ❤
Thank you Shamsa and Chuckie for putting this out, blessed.
Love to you Shamsa. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Big up Chuckie and the team for creating a safe space for this one 💚
This was such a powerful story - & One that needed to be told - Thank you Chuckie & Thank you Shamsa for sharing a story that brings so much awareness
Omg this was heavy. I’m so glad she’s here with us sharing her story! 🥺❤️
Chuckie thank you for providing your platform to bring awareness....her strength is powerful!
God bless this lady turning her pain into power and awareness. This happened to a friend of mine in Yemen. So so sad. Chuckie thanks for being opened minded and for your questions. Just love the way you empathise and understand.
Last I wish you nothing but the best for the future for you and your child. Your mum fully waited to know you was by her side for her peace of mind. 🙏🏽
She is the epitome of strength and he is an exceptional interviewer.

This was hard to hear, she is so strong and beautiful. Glad to see she seems happy despite the challenges/odds she faced. So inspirational. And I loved the way you conducted this interview so delicately and professionally . Also, I have to say that I appreciate her story. This will help so many others who have experienced/are experiencing the same thing and might not know what to do/where to get help which is amazing! I have liked and subscribed :)
This was hard to watch, necessary and inspirational. I wish this amazing women well, I wish her peace and healing. ❤
Such a strong and courageous woman. Sending love and blessings to her and others with similar experiences. A sensitive but extremely necessary conversation ❤👏🏾

I came from Tiktok and watched the entire thing. The work she is doing is so important. Thank you for sharing your experience and drawing attention to this issue
I’m literally crying at work, I’m so sorry you went through this. Words can’t even describe how horrible the things you went through. Your story needs to be heard everywhere, you’re truly an inspiration.
Sending so much ❤ about how this topic was handled.Great job.💯Amazing interview. Such an inspiring powerful person just telling it how it is about FGM. Lean about it in high school but not at school .👏🏾💯👑💯💯👑💐💐💯💐👏🏾🏆Men pull up and stand & speak up for the women in your life . It makes so much difference.Don’t lose faith in power of a women.
The hatred for women is insane , as a Somali I’m ashamed
FGM is a Somali women partice & has always been but of course they hate taking accountability.
This is so sad. This is why education is needed. I had to fast forward through so much of this episode.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you for your bravery Shamsa this must not have been easy to do. Man family can be so wicked eishh. The alarming thing is is that so many people go through this FGM daily aswell as abuse from family members. Yah help us.
You are blessed Shamsa ❤ what was meant to kill you brought u strength. You are unstoppable 💜🫶🏾
This is 1 of the BEST podcast ever made. Everyone needs to learn from it. 💜✌🏾😇
Glad people are speaking up on this PUBLICLY. 💚
Big up Chucks..... Each and every time. 😎
As a Somalia women my heart broke for shamsa😢 her life story in Somali was horrible.
You are strongly and unbreakable person.
Waw this woman! It is incredible to hear what some people can overcome. Massive massive RESPECT!
bawling my eyes out. thank you to this queen for sharing her story and thank you chuckie for doing this conversation justice.
Thank you for shining a light on this serious issue. We continue to fight against FGM.
Well done Chuckie & team for this. Almost goes without saying too but well done Shamsa for being a great guest and also for the work you do
Wishing this beautiful woman so much love & guidance. She is so strong & inspirational.❤️
Shamsa 🙏 i am assured that your faith for our future is already done. Thankyou for projecting inspiration x
never been so locked into a pod like this one before.. this is just the coldest pod to exist fr
Blessings to you and Ms Shamsa... 🧡
What a beautiful soul she has. Thank you for this interview 🙏🏿❤️
Wow! What a story. What a woman. I love that she is holistic in her approach to people. Helping young women and young men. Challenging the future generations. God continue her 💪strength.
This was a heavy conversation - like my chest felt a two-ton weight just sitting there. Thank you for having this very difficult conversation!
Shamsa is a hero and so strong! She went through hell and stands up to the abusers and awful people in her life!!! I am proud of her. She’s so beautiful.
This was the first time i nearly stopped listening. Not because of boredom, because of sadness.
Thank you , blessings and love to you both❤
Shamsa, you are a strong and courageous young woman. I was moved and touched by your story. What you have experienced throughout your life, I believe that God is going to use you to inspire and encourage other women who have gone through similar experiences as you. I will continue to pray for you so that GOD will give you the strength and keep on fighting against F.G.M. God bless you.
Yes I’ve been waiting for the visual since listening on Spotify
This is one of your most powerful and relatable episodes. I worked with many women affected by FGM. Thanku for highlighting this subject with such sensitivity and openness ❤️🎓🌍🙏🏾🤔
The most respect and love for you telling your story Shamsa
Such a great conversation!!!
Every single male involved should be ashamed of themselves!!! May Allah have mercy on her and grant her mother Jannatul Firdaus In Sha Allah, Ameen. 💔
Great Conversation I Have Seen Shamsa Speak On FGM Before But Not In Such Depth... The Interviewer Had Great Feedback And Made Her Feel Secure While Being Vulnerable Telling Her Horrific Story
This is so groundbreaking. God bless Shamsa and her story. I recently found out my mum was subjected to fgm at 13. I don’t think she knows it’s a crime either.
I always said this and I will keep saying it as long as I live: AFRICAN culture is cruel towards women. I really hope this changes for the next generation.
Powerful! I wish everyone can watch this
I’m so proud of her and May she get everything she deserves in this life and the next! 🧡 (Chuckie, this was by far the most important conversation I’ve seen! Thank you for having these discussions 🫶🏾) God bless you all!
This sister should be proud of herself for being so strong and optimistic and getting though these traumas ❤
Wow. It’s so crazy some of the things people have went through and came out of strong, I couldn’t imagine having to go through this… This was really an emotional pod and I’m glad I watched it.
