This is my mother , and I am her oldest daughter ... It's unfortunate that I didn't see these videos of her until yesterday about 8 days after her tragic passing ... But I am SO PROUD of my mom for having the courage to speak her truth , she is truly a survivor and it pains me to even learn things from this interview that I never knew before , thank you white under belly for giving her the platform to let her story be heard by thousands ..... She was truly a beautiful person inside and out and I hope all of the viewers take something from my mom's testimony. This is all I have left of my mama and I'm just grateful to see her looking radiant as she tells her story
I watched all ur mom's interviews i liked her right away. Ur right, she told her stories and truthfully. Im so very sorry for your loss girl💜💛. May she RIP she will be remembered n missed by so many. Especially on here. Hugs to you xo
What a beautiful soul your mother was. Her life testimony and bravery will continue to inspire. It was Gods gift that she filmed this video. I just believe that. This channel is a living miracle, for the those forgotten and who exist in the margins of society. Take the best of your mum and make her proud. She was beautiful inside and out. Never forget that. I’m so sorry that her childhood was brutally stolen and that she never got a fair chance in this life. She will always be your spiritual guide. I know this. I have no doubt she carried you and her other children inside of her heart…so carry her heart and memory in yours. Live the life that was cruelly denied her and that she so wanted for herself. Even after all she had been through she still lived in hope. This video proves that. I hope and wish you well lovely. Love from Liverpool England.x
I hope one day she realizes that she wasn’t sent back to California because she “got pregnant too early” and that they sent her back because they were trying to keep the disgrace of her father raping her and getting her pregnant a secret. Her saying that it’s because she got pregnant early puts the blame on her and nothing was her fault, she is the victim.
I agree. I literally lost my breath. Her father basically trained her in this life. She didn't even have a chance. 27 stitches? I cried not only because of her story but her pain and just a feeling of the addiction being so big that even if someone's trying to help, she is conditioned to right back to the street.
She deserves a chance at life! A real life!! To be loved and cared for! Her 27 stitchs had me crying so hard I could barely see my screen... yet I could still see her pain and hear her pain... no one deserves that ever! She was failed by her father🙏🏼 this choice of working the streets wasn’t a choice... Now is her time to shine!! She’s got an audience praying for strength and self forgiveness!🙏🏼🤗
I agree. I'm a white boy from Mississippi and I don't judge her one bit. I've seen this many times. Black, white, it don't matter. All the poverty and abuse leaves these girls hopeless. I'm glad I was born a boy because we don't have this choice. We just had to steal to get what we needed but the girls have other options and it destroys them. I really hope she can get clean and change. She seems like someone I'd be friends with.
@@kyriljordanov2086 I hope you’re not out there stealing shit man. That’s nothing but a good chance to get shot or locked up. If you can’t find a job that pays call up a union hall they pay well, pay for your education, and let you work all over the country. If that doesn’t work the military is always hiring.
@@AJ-gd1ww Me too, I got cold chills thinking of her intense fear and pain. Makes me sick. And like she said, how can men do things like this to women?!?! I can't help but want revenge for her!!
Lasonya aka Bonafide is my was my sister I just wanted to take the time to thank all of you that has watched her story and was touched by it thank you for all the beautiful comments and for being so understanding. She truly was a beautiful person on the inside and out she went through so much in her life and still had the courage to tell her story...... She was my hero and she's always be in hurt...I LOVE YOU SISTER RIP... THANK YOU MARK FOR KEEPING HER STORY ALIVE
I can see that Mark is a good man! His hugs are rare on film, but really needed. Go watch Niqi, but I’m warning you, it will break your heart! I’m still mourning her death and I didn’t even know her. 😢
Here I was, sitting in my jetted bathtub, feeling sorry for myself because I had a recent breakup and I was lonely. I watched a few seconds of this video and snapped right out of that bullshit. It’s hard not to feel gratitude after watching this. I’m about to get ready and go see my parents so I can thank them for protecting, nurturing, and loving me. The only thing separating me from this beautiful woman is the lottery of our birth. I pray she finds God’s grace and lifts herself up out of this lifestyle so she can help others. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for these videos! 💕
2ChicksAndaMakeupKit That was a beautiful comment and thank you for your thinking of her. If you’re a mother I want to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day as well!
This was a tough one... the pain on her face when she talked about her pimp and then being sodomized. Ughh it was as if she felt the pain all over again. She’s so strong.
A lot of people process molestation by being hyper sexualized. Met a lot of kids over the decades that acted that way. I could never, for the life of me, understand how an adult could do this to a child
@@thecrownoffusion8420 I don't believe it's mental illness, know lots of mentally ill people who would never hurt a fly. It's because no one said anything about it to them and made them stop. People will do the most heinous things if they think they won't get caught
@@susiefairfield7218 true, and in most cases, families don't report the abuse of relatives. They protect relatives from prosecution and silence the victims
This woman is strong. And while she was talking I noticed that her lower neck looks swollen. Mark, if you can find this woman again, she needs to get her thyroid checked!
@@lisa916panther5 Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. ... If left untreated, though, hypothyroidism can lead to many complications. These include heart problems, nerve injury, infertility and in severe cases, death.
Her story is horrific..Ive watched many of these videos. But her story made my eyes water....it really touched me. You can see that she has a good heart deep down and a beautiful soul💜 im glad you gave her a hug at the end she really needed one and deserved one for telling her story
The hug at the end was heartwarming this is one of the best interviews sometimes a hug is just what a person needs and she needed it. She is an awesome woman!
Bless you Mark for reaching out and giving this beautiful soul a genuine hug. May sometime in the near future this young lady get her dream and happiness. Will keep her uplifted in prayer especially in these terrible virus time.
My heart is with most of the interviewees, many of them never stood a chance due to family background. For many of them you can see the brilliance behind their eyes but they either are abused or hooked on some substance. This woman’s father was supposed to be her protector.
Thank you mark she needed that hug you are truly a godsend I love how you make them talk about there pain because sometimes people have a hard time wanting to talk about those things not realizing it’s so therapeutic to get those demons out you have to talk about it ❤️💯🙏🏽 god bless you mark
My god when she spoke of her pimp .... you can hear the excruciating pain in her voice- so glad he didn’t break her! I was also a “working girl with a heart of gold” and it definitely made me vulnerable on the street but it also kept me safe because people trusted me because of it. Bonafide- woman to woman (exworking girl in recovery from crack/heroin 4.5 years now here) you are beautiful- inside and out and sooo strong! The strength it takes to survive all what you have survived, without turning hard, bitter, cold and abusive yourself is massive. You are so genuine, solid! Keep taking care and stay safe!
When she said she was sent away to not tarnish the family's name, is heartbreaking to hear. Instead of protecting the child, they protect the father and oh, the FAMILY'S NAME. Heartless!!!!
Man her whole demeanour changed when she talked about the pimps. That alone tells me what's really up in that game inspite of what pimps have to say when they are interviewed. They just taking everything from these girls. Makes me sick.
Pimps ain't shit. They not shit at all. They profit off a woman selling her body and if she don't make enough they beat the woman. These woman get raped and abused by tricks all day long and even get robbed just for pimps to beat they ass after all that too. I hate pimps.
Man I love this channel. This channel adds a human touch to the people who we drive by every and cast judgement on. It gives me a chance to reflect on how one wrong choice in my life could've easily put me in her and the other ladies shoes. It takes a village to raise a child and luckily my village was full of people who never took advantage of the trust placed in their hands. Hug your children. Tell them they're smart. Tell them they are beautiful. Every day. Be the parents that these resilient, beautiful souls never had the chance to have.
Mark, this channel is one of the most impactful on youtube - impactful in a very beneficial way. Painful to watch, but healing as well - not only for the speakers but also for the viewers, it's therapeutic. Life is more than the things we occupy ourselves with - we tend to lose focus of what is important, and what else is going on, in óur world. These testimonies feel so genuine, are so heartfelt, I think nobody can deny it leaves them with some new perception on life - sooner or later. I've seen many of your videos now, if not all, and this one, by Bonafide, felt like the last drop - I gét it now. I understand now fully, what it means to be a good person, and how little it takes, to be one. I am inspired ànd determined, to go out and practice kindness, to all - no matter who they are and where they come from. Because beneath the surface of évery person, lays a whole word, a world that is only capable of teaching and enriching your own. It only depends on your attitude. Give all people, a chance. Thankyou Mark.
Mark Thank You for being so kind and giving her that hug at the end. She needed that so badly. So much of her story is just horrible I don’t see how she has survived it all. She’s so much stronger than anyone I ever known. And she’s a beautiful woman in every way.
This poor woman… from her dad, having his child- the stories of sexual assault. My god. And then she just wants to take girls off the street? How she’s managed to keep this compassion for others and know that she STILL is worth more- is remarkable. I’m really glad she’s got a place to go. I just want to hug her so hard and tell her how she’s worth the world ❤ sending her soooo much love.
Mark, I came back to this interview after seeing MoMo’s interview this morning... Bonafide (her auntie) is an awesome person 😢, will you follow up with her? This interview is enough to wake MoMo up after seeing the pain, abuse, and suffering of a family member, she said it made her cry, I hope it will make her think and run away from that lifestyle that only leads to destruction ✨✨🙏🏽🆙✨✨💫
You can look in this woman's eyes and see every ounce of pain she's ever experienced. I hope with every fiber of my being that she sees her worth, because she is so much more than her body.... You can tell she has a big heart, but she was dealt a shitty hand from day one 😔.
I see it’s a lot of daughters being molested by their father. This is horrific and to put icing on the cake they have a child by their father. I love this channel. This makes me look at people totally different. We live in a crazy world. If kids can’t trust their mother or father who can they trust. Like I always say, children don’t come in this world messed up. Parents/adults mess children up. God bless them all!!
🙋🏾 #truth Born in 85. My mother was an addict and have been clean for abt 24yrs. However without her being in her right state of mind she didn't realize my older sibling or cousins were touching me. Or how while she was in rehab and I was sent to live with my father/step-mom that I witnessed him verbally/mentally/financially abusing her. And suffered 2nd hand from it. Been thru worse but I'm a survivor and a much better parent than what I was dealt. 💯
@@islandgirl5382 No, cerebralpalsy is not a genetic conditions, it's brain damage often cause during or after birth, sometimes by lack of oxygen during birth.
@@thecrownoffusion8420 that's not true. Genetic conditions are the problem with incest and retardations and cerebralpalsy aren't genetic, it's brain damage caused before or after birth, often due to lack of oxygen during birth.
When she said "I went to sex instead of away from sex" I felt that as someone who was molested at a young impressionable age. It's very difficult to understand unless you have been through it yourself. Bless your heart 💓 I know how it feels
Her families gonna be pissed when they get to the pearly gates and see her on the other side while they are getting turned away. God will turn his back on them like how they turned their back on their child
Yes he sure does! He is the reason she lives in hell. It doesn’t seem fair that she suffers for life (and her innocent children as well) while that demonic father of hers lives on. I like to believe in karma, but sometimes I wonder... 😞
Her dad is to blame for her going down this path. & killing her dreams of what she could of been. It was not her fault. this is why I watch these because we all got a story good or bad
I watch this channel often but never has my heart hurt for one of your interviewees like it just has for her. All the hurt and pain that she has been through one of her goals is still to help other people and I just find that so amazing. I'm not someone who prays alot but tonight I'm honestly going to say a prayer for her because her story touched my heart and I honestly hope she gets her happy ever after. She truely desurves to be happy.
She's the type of Woman that I always call Auntie. She just give me those vibes. If I knew her, she'd be Auntie every time. I would help her as well. You don't hurt people who are good. That makes them become angry but she seems so mild. I hope she gets her Life together because she deserves more.
Wait till you watch her 14 yr old nieces video . Im disappointed and her advice for other prostitutes and her testimony is bull knowing her niece looks up to her hoeing and has also started working the streets at 13 . The pattern needs to be broken and healing ,therapy and learning their worth and to love themselves is much needed .
This definitely got my eyes wet. She is strong woman. Out of tragedy comes triumph. That hug at the end was priceless. Keep yo head up and keep movin 4ward baby girl.
The tragic truth she revealed was that molested children can get addicted to prostitution because of their childhood experience of abuse. Few know or can admit this with the eloquence and brave of Bonafide.
women can be too...i was molested by one and sexual harassed by many. i wish it was talked about more. this stuff happens in families before a stranger which is so sad. your family should be there for you
The commonality in a lot of these girls backstories of sexual assault is so sad, thank you for shedding light on all these areas of society people brush off and never consider the person behind the 'career'
Watched many of these, this one really upset me. She just wilted more and more into the interview, how can humans be so horrific to another human. She still has hope, how. She still has positivity about her future, how. God bless her, what a world we live in. X
He got her onto meditation ❤️🙏🏼 right at the end she said “it was the meditation you were right” I think behind the scenes mark is actually tackling a lot more than we see. It starts with making these people feel valued and important again and meditation and positive affirmations are a GREAT place to start. Thankyou mark ❤️
This struck a real cord in me 😭 the fact she’s been through it all and she’s STILL hopeful just made me feel soo grateful to be able to hear her testimony, I hope it really works out for her! Thank you for the amazing content Mark! ❤️
Out of all the interviews I've watched you conduct (a considerable number), Bonafide really struck a deep chord in me. Really touched my heart. The depth of pain...the vast reservoir of hope that remains...May He guide her from above and angels protect her. Thank you, Mark. As always, you keep me straight. In a state of gratitude and humility ❤
She is so intelligent. Just imagine what her life would have been like if she had been given a different set of circumstances, a father who didn't betray her.
"The attraction is the attention I get"...lawd smh. The epitome of low self esteem...its what keeps people in situations like this where they feel like they cant do any better. Craving attention...we see it on social media all the time, feeling lonely and needing the validation. Its all an addiction
This tore my heart out. Can you imagine after what this woman has experienced that she stills maintains hope and the desire to help others like herself? I hope that she finds peace, healing and support to fulfill her dreams. She deserves so much better. All these women do.
A child by her dad? Omg this is so sad and sick. 🤦🏾♀️🤧 Why would you do that to your child? Edit: Can’t believe she died. So heartbreaking. I was rooting for her. RIP Angel 🙏🏾
Unapologetically Bri I know!!!! 90% of these videos, the girls are molested, raped, beaten by their biological father, grandfather OR Foster fathers. Breaks my heart!!!! I don’t know how men can sexually touch children. Some sick mother fuckers out their.
I don't know how a man sleeps comfortably at night knowing he is raping someone let alone his own. He really viewed his little girl, flesh and blood as a suitable sex partner. Truly fuxkkng sick. This is the lowest of the low
This one touched my soul deeply. She's singing her testimony through this interview, unfinished as it may have been but I believe she's healed and made whole again now. RIP, Ms. LaSonya.
She’s one amazing woman. She’s already started the legacy she dreams of by having inspired us the way she did during this interview. She’s remarkable and beautiful.
God bless her, she just wants to be acknowledged...to be loved, but doesn't know what that is. I'm not saying that she's a saint, but she is a product of the hand she was dealt. I wish someone would have scooped her up and loved her for real, while she was still young. I am so glad that she was brave to stand up to her father, finally. May God have mercy on his soul. Bless you, Bonafide. I am praying for you, love.
Was just coming to the comments to try to organize a way for her to get her house. What a gentle soul, someone who has little but still thinks about giving. you can see the pain in her eyes. I can only hope that she felt some love from all of us before she passed. She was extraordinary
What beautiful skin she has. It’s glowing. She has had a difficult life and given the set of circumstances she was dealt in life i am not sure I wouldn’t live like her as well. She is struggling. As any of us would be in her position. I wish her all the best for her dreams of owning a trucking company in future. I am sure if you set your mind to chasing those dreams and not those drugs you will make it a long way xx Sending love from Australia to you XX
She needs a vacation to a Caribbean island, go far up in the remote mountains and be rejuvenated .Listen to some conscious music, pray and be refreshed So of these people need to be removed from their environment and experience something new
@@RoseEGlitch The start to recovery is a change of environment. why do you think most rehabilitation centers are in the middle of nowhere? It is so because an addict has to be withdrawn from the physical environment that fueled their addiction, hurt and pain. Therefore, my comment was basically a suggestion of a suitable location for her to experience healing . Not that I am saying that the Caribbean does not have similar social ills but its just on a very small scale. It was just a simple suggestion , at the end of the day everyone needs a vacation right ?!
Bonafide had me in tears, something about her energy was so beautiful. What stood out to me was when she said "if you have the right tools....you can reach your goals". If she had the right guidance, I could see her going so far in life. Her many struggles forced her to be such a strong woman and yet she still smiles.
Daaaaaaamn, she has a child by her own father 🤦🏾♀️😭😭😭😭 and she STILL glooooows, look at her skin! After doing crack, heroin and meth...she looks AMAZING after all of that being 38 with 7 kids!!! She is a walking miracle. Her poor kids tho...
I was so moved. Sis, I hope you get your life together. I'm sorry nobody protected you your ENTIRE LIFE! I ask the UNIVERSE to guide you on your path to REDEMPTION because you are WORTHY of LOVE, SUCCESS AND RESPECT! IM ROOTING FOR U!!!!
I absolutely loved her spirit. I’m glad I clicked on her video because I wasn’t expecting this to be what it was. I feel so bad for the experiences that she’s been thru but she’s a warrior for real!! I want to see her win and own that trucking business. Keep that optimism Bonafide!!! You’re going to make it. I can see it. ❤️💪🏾

Truthfully, she's your Momma? She deserved so much more. Her personality, heart is overwhelmingly pure and kind.
She was sent away so the last name wasn't tarnished but it should have been her father that was sent away... to prison.
Flowerchild Moonbeam no he should have been sent to Guantanamo Bay FOREVER
Thank you!
Flowerchild Moonbeam Amen to that 😩
This story is repeated so much in families. smh.

And I am sure she wasn't the only one he did this too..
Yeah they blame her you can tell when she said “I got too fast back in Alabama I started at 13” but her dad was touching her
Amen!

U mean u sat in your shower
I’m stuck at her Father impregnating her, Lord our parents are the first to teach us pain.
She was strong enough to keep the child as well. hope she can have her kids again in the near future. And be blessed with healing
Yes sooooo sad. Live Destroyed so early
The latter part of this comment is so concise, elegant and rings so true to me. Well said.
Well said Catrea
Us men need to do better with our woman out here. Straight up
Agreed.
Yes! 🙌 Us pimps need to be kinder and more respectful to our hoes.
TBH, mothers need to start educating their sons. These men are out here misbehaving
Adree Baybee yea but it’s not just men. It’s other women too. I’m pretty sure she basically said her mother didn’t take care of her at all.
fuck are you talking about?...nigga speak for yourself?
Even today you deserve to be honored Happy Mother’s Day Queen pray you find your peace
Amen to that 🙏🏼

Happy mother's day to all you beautiful mother's 💝
This was a tough one... the pain on her face when she talked about her pimp and then being sodomized. Ughh it was as if she felt the pain all over again. She’s so strong.
When my mom say it’s always someone doing worst then you, count your blessings...
The father caused all of this. He should pay a heavy price.,
Yea a dead price
Yes the father and his family for standing behind him.
And I bet he celebrates Father's Day and expects "honor." The worst ones always do.
He will

wow you are exactly right I didn't notice that intil your comment.
I noticed the same thing
What happens if she dont have it checked?
Gorgeous ❤️ sweet Professional Woman.

The amount of suffering women and children are put through by men is so sad.

FACTS! 💯✔
@@frankluis4653 lol you're pathetic
Her story is horrific..Ive watched many of these videos. But her story made my eyes water....it really touched me. You can see that she has a good heart deep down and a beautiful soul💜 im glad you gave her a hug at the end she really needed one and deserved one for telling her story
Glow, Kelly and bonafide interviews pushed tears outta me
I can’t even finish the video
I was also glad to see him give her a hug. That was so necessary. Thanks Mark.
21 men sis im sorry
honestly same i couldnt finish the video
The hug at the end was heartwarming this is one of the best interviews sometimes a hug is just what a person needs and she needed it. She is an awesome woman!
20:50. That was needed and a cool moment from Mark
Bless you Mark for reaching out and giving this beautiful soul a genuine hug. May sometime in the near future this young lady get her dream and happiness. Will keep her uplifted in prayer especially in these terrible virus time.
Bonafide: I'm not young anymore.
Mark: You're still beautiful!
Mark like that Panther Puddin...
She is still beautiful!!!! Yes, she is!
I pray she gets her trucking company, she deserves it.
Me too! That’s my prayer for her! 💕
My heart is with most of the interviewees, many of them never stood a chance due to family background. For many of them you can see the brilliance behind their eyes but they either are abused or hooked on some substance. This woman’s father was supposed to be her protector.
So many have traumatic, chaotic childhoods.
@Iam Notafan yes
So true so sad. He raped her for 6 years until she spoke out and was pregnant by him.
Thank you mark she needed that hug you are truly a godsend I love how you make them talk about there pain because sometimes people have a hard time wanting to talk about those things not realizing it’s so therapeutic to get those demons out you have to talk about it ❤️💯🙏🏽 god bless you mark
This one was tough to watch.. You can see the pain all over face.
Jade Taylor Yes it was really hard to watch. 😢 she’s has gone through a lot.
And she still has one of the most classically beautiful faces I’ve ever seen.
My god when she spoke of her pimp .... you can hear the excruciating pain in her voice- so glad he didn’t break her! I was also a “working girl with a heart of gold” and it definitely made me vulnerable on the street but it also kept me safe because people trusted me because of it. Bonafide- woman to woman (exworking girl in recovery from crack/heroin 4.5 years now here) you are beautiful- inside and out and sooo strong! The strength it takes to survive all what you have survived, without turning hard, bitter, cold and abusive yourself is massive. You are so genuine, solid! Keep taking care and stay safe!
Goodness
Keep it going.
NOW THIS is who we should've started the GO Fund me account for!!
I saw that the other gal scammed everyone and her story was fake..
Jenny Johns who
Xavier Parker Kelly
cashapp her some bread then
Really omg not surprised
When she said she was sent away to not tarnish the family's name, is heartbreaking to hear. Instead of protecting the child, they protect the father and oh, the FAMILY'S NAME. Heartless!!!!
Man her whole demeanour changed when she talked about the pimps. That alone tells me what's really up in that game inspite of what pimps have to say when they are interviewed.
They just taking everything from these girls. Makes me sick.
Exactly
Pimps ain't shit. They not shit at all. They profit off a woman selling her body and if she don't make enough they beat the woman. These woman get raped and abused by tricks all day long and even get robbed just for pimps to beat they ass after all that too. I hate pimps.
dont hate a player for making bread at a dumb bitches expense
Man I love this channel. This channel adds a human touch to the people who we drive by every and cast judgement on. It gives me a chance to reflect on how one wrong choice in my life could've easily put me in her and the other ladies shoes. It takes a village to raise a child and luckily my village was full of people who never took advantage of the trust placed in their hands.
Hug your children. Tell them they're smart. Tell them they are beautiful. Every day. Be the parents that these resilient, beautiful souls never had the chance to have.
She is one of the most inspiring people I've ever heard. After all she s been through she is still so kind...
Righhhhht!!
Mark, this channel is one of the most impactful on youtube - impactful in a very beneficial way.
Painful to watch, but healing as well - not only for the speakers but also for the viewers, it's therapeutic.
Life is more than the things we occupy ourselves with - we tend to lose focus of what is important, and what else is going on, in óur world.
These testimonies feel so genuine, are so heartfelt, I think nobody can deny it leaves them with some new perception on life - sooner or later.
I've seen many of your videos now, if not all, and this one, by Bonafide, felt like the last drop - I gét it now.
I understand now fully, what it means to be a good person,
and how little it takes, to be one.
I am inspired ànd determined, to go out and practice kindness, to all - no matter who they are and where they come from.
Because beneath the surface of évery person, lays a whole word, a world that is only capable of teaching and enriching your own. It only depends on your attitude.
Give all people, a chance.
Thankyou Mark.
Agreed😊😊
Spuishee great thoughts👍
I whole heartedly agree. I have watched many of videos, but this one really opened my eyes.
Perfectly worded. Put all of my thoughts in a perfectly worded response.
🙌🏾✅💯💓💓💓🗣👌🏽🧚🏽💞✨✨👌🏽🙌🏾💓💓💯✅
Mark Thank You for being so kind and giving her that hug at the end. She needed that so badly. So much of her story is just horrible I don’t see how she has survived it all. She’s so much stronger than anyone I ever known. And she’s a beautiful woman in every way.
20:50 in case y'all didn't watch the whole video
As soon as her asked her about her experiences with pimps her whole demeanor changed. Like a dark cloud came over her.
Micayla Robinson, your beautiful...
I came back after watching her 14 year old niece interview
Me too.
What’s the title of that video?
Nameless Assassin Teenage Prostitute Interview- Momo
i want to hug her and never let go. heartbreaking
Me too! Thank you for your loving words. So many comments are cruel. Stay kind 💕
Cayleigh Glew Yeah the sadness in her eyes is intense...
She's very charming
I want to help just by giving them a place to sleep comfortably
What a beautiful woman. She is truly inspiring. A good heart never dies.
And her former pimp couldn't penetrated the shield God imprinted on her
This poor woman… from her dad, having his child- the stories of sexual assault. My god. And then she just wants to take girls off the street? How she’s managed to keep this compassion for others and know that she STILL is worth more- is remarkable. I’m really glad she’s got a place to go. I just want to hug her so hard and tell her how she’s worth the world ❤ sending her soooo much love.
If you read the pinned comment she passed away from a car accident
Mark, I came back to this interview after seeing MoMo’s interview this morning... Bonafide (her auntie) is an awesome person 😢, will you follow up with her? This interview is enough to wake MoMo up after seeing the pain, abuse, and suffering of a family member, she said it made her cry, I hope it will make her think and run away from that lifestyle that only leads to destruction ✨✨🙏🏽🆙✨✨💫
Me too.. I so badly want to help them
You can look in this woman's eyes and see every ounce of pain she's ever experienced. I hope with every fiber of my being that she sees her worth, because she is so much more than her body.... You can tell she has a big heart, but she was dealt a shitty hand from day one 😔.
18:41 was the most painful
Idk, people can overcome shitty beginnings. But they have to believe they can.
Watching her face as she recalls on these tragic events hurts my heart. She’s so strong and inspiring. Sending love & light to this queen.
I see it’s a lot of daughters being molested by their father. This is horrific and to put icing on the cake they have a child by their father. I love this channel. This makes me look at people totally different. We live in a crazy world. If kids can’t trust their mother or father who can they trust. Like I always say, children don’t come in this world messed up. Parents/adults mess children up. God bless them all!!
I am completely empathetic to her situation. Early 80s children have some rough lives
Child yes. I'm 37. It has been so hard.
You ain’t lyin’
A lot of us lost a parent or both parents to crack. Interesting time.
So true. Especially our Black women. Devastating
🙋🏾 #truth Born in 85. My mother was an addict and have been clean for abt 24yrs. However without her being in her right state of mind she didn't realize my older sibling or cousins were touching me. Or how while she was in rehab and I was sent to live with my father/step-mom that I witnessed him verbally/mentally/financially abusing her. And suffered 2nd hand from it. Been thru worse but I'm a survivor and a much better parent than what I was dealt. 💯
Bonafise's testimony is hands down the most moving RUclips presentation of 2020, perhaps even the past decade. Her authenticy is so engaging
She doesn’t have deformities but she has cerebral palsy... that was tough
I am assuming that was her 1st child.... INCEST!
Most of time retardation comes with a incest baby
@@islandgirl5382 No, cerebralpalsy is not a genetic conditions, it's brain damage often cause during or after birth, sometimes by lack of oxygen during birth.
@@thecrownoffusion8420 that's not true. Genetic conditions are the problem with incest and retardations and cerebralpalsy aren't genetic, it's brain damage caused before or after birth, often due to lack of oxygen during birth.
@@Cynnas I was saying
When she said "I went to sex instead of away from sex" I felt that as someone who was molested at a young impressionable age. It's very difficult to understand unless you have been through it yourself. Bless your heart 💓 I know how it feels
🙋🏾 I know it oh to well myself.
And me
Her families gonna be pissed when they get to the pearly gates and see her on the other side while they are getting turned away. God will turn his back on them like how they turned their back on their child
I was told this abt my mother. I believe it wholeheartedly. That religious persona but wicked ways won't give them access.
What a scary thing
Jesus Christ this is sad.
Hallelujah 🙏
20:56 made me smile
Yes it's horrible what she gone through
Zippydodah Quirk I love your name 😀
She has so much wisdom and she’s very well articulated. God bless her.
Come on articulate? Give me a break.
Alexandra Picot Given what shes been through, yes!!!
Dee been
Perhaps
Alexandra Picot It’s not only in the King’s English that powerful ideas are expressed.
I love how she talks...seems like such a sweet spirit to be around.
Her father should rot in hell 😡
"I'm already suicidal just do me the favor" 😭😭😭😭😭
Her father needs to be in prison, solitary confinement
Yes he sure does! He is the reason she lives in hell. It doesn’t seem fair that she suffers for life (and her innocent children as well) while that demonic father of hers lives on. I like to believe in karma, but sometimes I wonder... 😞
He needs to be in prison around other inmates who will fuck him up.
He'll get his, believe that!; I was molested for years by my mom's abusive boyfriend and he died a lonely man.
Karla Moody I agree
He'd ask for protective custody because he'll be on KILL ON SIGHT if he was in prison
Her dad is to blame for her going down this path. & killing her dreams of what she could of been. It was not her fault. this is why I watch these because we all got a story good or bad
I watch this channel often but never has my heart hurt for one of your interviewees like it just has for her. All the hurt and pain that she has been through one of her goals is still to help other people and I just find that so amazing. I'm not someone who prays alot but tonight I'm honestly going to say a prayer for her because her story touched my heart and I honestly hope she gets her happy ever after. She truely desurves to be happy.
She's the type of Woman that I always call Auntie. She just give me those vibes. If I knew her, she'd be Auntie every time. I would help her as well. You don't hurt people who are good. That makes them become angry but she seems so mild. I hope she gets her Life together because she deserves more.
This is one of the most f-d up stories I ever listened to.
On everything 😨
Its like a movie I really hope she gets help!😔
Wait till you watch her 14 yr old nieces video . Im disappointed and her advice for other prostitutes and her testimony is bull knowing her niece looks up to her hoeing and has also started working the streets at 13 . The pattern needs to be broken and healing ,therapy and learning their worth and to love themselves is much needed .
This definitely got my eyes wet. She is strong woman. Out of tragedy comes triumph. That hug at the end was priceless. Keep yo head up and keep movin 4ward baby girl.
Hearing stories like hers further proves we already living in hell 😞
So very touching, I have literally been binge watching these incredibly brave people and life changing stories all day.
Some men can be monsters. This is a fact,
Men are not cut from the same cloth we women are. I don't know what kind of cloth it is, but it's very different.
Lucil Maybe it’s their nature to be violent.
The tragic truth she revealed was that molested children can get addicted to prostitution because of their childhood experience of abuse. Few know or can admit this with the eloquence and brave of Bonafide.
Straight truth
women can be too...i was molested by one and sexual harassed by many. i wish it was talked about more. this stuff happens in families before a stranger which is so sad. your family should be there for you
The commonality in a lot of these girls backstories of sexual assault is so sad, thank you for shedding light on all these areas of society people brush off and never consider the person behind the 'career'
Absolutely true. It’s heartbreaking.
Same with 600lb life, it's a mental health issue
Even worse when its by your family or parents that's betrayal to the max
I just love her spirit and the fact that she hasn’t given up. This interview was truly a tear jerker.
The way her voice dropped when she start talking about how horrible it was to have a pimp..🥺🥺🥺
Watched many of these, this one really upset me. She just wilted more and more into the interview, how can humans be so horrific to another human. She still has hope, how. She still has positivity about her future, how. God bless her, what a world we live in. X
He got her onto meditation ❤️🙏🏼 right at the end she said “it was the meditation you were right”
I think behind the scenes mark is actually tackling a lot more than we see. It starts with making these people feel valued and important again and meditation and positive affirmations are a GREAT place to start. Thankyou mark ❤️
Thank you for the positive comment. We don't see enough of these on here. Thanks for opening your eyes and seeing the good!
For some reason, this one really got to me. Praying for her
This struck a real cord in me 😭 the fact she’s been through it all and she’s STILL hopeful just made me feel soo grateful to be able to hear her testimony, I hope it really works out for her! Thank you for the amazing content Mark! ❤️
She got extremely sad when she had to talk about her experiences with a pimp. This is heartbreaking
Out of all the interviews I've watched you conduct (a considerable number), Bonafide really struck a deep chord in me. Really touched my heart. The depth of pain...the vast reservoir of hope that remains...May He guide her from above and angels protect her. Thank you, Mark. As always, you keep me straight. In a state of gratitude and humility ❤
So this is Momo’s auntie she was talking about
I can't find the interview you're referring...I assume it is an interview on this channel wasnt it?
@@mariajk975 Mark deleted. She was a little girl who said at the end of the interview that she considers Mark her father.
@@mariajk975 it's posted, her name is momo :(
This made me cry. My heart aches for her. I pray she’s okay and heals from her wounds
She is so intelligent. Just imagine what her life would have been like if she had been given a different set of circumstances, a father who didn't betray her.
Dani Ruegg so much YES in your message! 💗
Yooo, i agree🌞💕
These videos are so eye opening. Thank for continuing to spread awareness
Defiantly. Happy mother's day to her and every good mother out there 🙏
She reminds me of my aunt. Such a good person, easy to talk to and so many stories to tell. R.I.P to you, Bonafide.
"The attraction is the attention I get"...lawd smh. The epitome of low self esteem...its what keeps people in situations like this where they feel like they cant do any better. Craving attention...we see it on social media all the time, feeling lonely and needing the validation. Its all an addiction
My God she is a STRONG BLACK QUEEN !!!! She been through hell & back but you can tell she still has a good heart. This video really touched me.
With all she been through,broken beaten and dehumanized....she still sitting there looking like a Queen
Shes been through so much yet she still wants to save others in her situation , what a heart of gold.
Omg her describing that rape and needing stitches was so heartbreaking. My God
When she said “38” that hurt my heart. I knew she had a loooong hard life. I thought she was at least 45 years old
This tore my heart out. Can you imagine after what this woman has experienced that she stills maintains hope and the desire to help others like herself? I hope that she finds peace, healing and support to fulfill her dreams. She deserves so much better. All these women do.
A child by her dad? Omg this is so sad and sick. 🤦🏾♀️🤧 Why would you do that to your child?
Edit: Can’t believe she died. So heartbreaking. I was rooting for her. RIP Angel 🙏🏾
Alot of sick people do that just so evil
I'd bet he'd ask for protective custody bc he's a bitch I hate rapist
Unapologetically Bri mentally ill and able to reproduce... a kid with a mentally I’ll parent can be exposed to anything
Unapologetically Bri I know!!!! 90% of these videos, the girls are molested, raped, beaten by their biological father, grandfather OR Foster fathers. Breaks my heart!!!! I don’t know how men can sexually touch children. Some sick mother fuckers out their.
I don't know how a man sleeps comfortably at night knowing he is raping someone let alone his own. He really viewed his little girl, flesh and blood as a suitable sex partner. Truly fuxkkng sick. This is the lowest of the low
This one touched my soul deeply. She's singing her testimony through this interview, unfinished as it may have been but I believe she's healed and made whole again now. RIP, Ms. LaSonya.
She’s one amazing woman. She’s already started the legacy she dreams of by having inspired us the way she did during this interview. She’s remarkable and beautiful.
"under beneath my breast I have a scar, from a pimp trying to take my heart. He said I was too kind to people. He needed to cut it out"
😠. He needs to be put in a grave
nihir wow I haven’t got to that part yet 😢
Killed me.
He probably was jealous of her
What ?!
" pimp as a pipe" such an intelligent way to put it. I want better for her
God bless her, she just wants to be acknowledged...to be loved, but doesn't know what that is. I'm not saying that she's a saint, but she is a product of the hand she was dealt. I wish someone would have scooped her up and loved her for real, while she was still young. I am so glad that she was brave to stand up to her father, finally. May God have mercy on his soul. Bless you, Bonafide. I am praying for you, love.
After all the shits she's been through and she still maintains the noble idea of helping others. God bless her.
God, she is so beautiful. I hope she gets her house and her trucking company 😭💙
Her kids needs her as well
I love the respect and care he shows his interviewees. Be blessed Bonafide.
20:50 that was cool of him
Angela Presberry you single?
Was just coming to the comments to try to organize a way for her to get her house. What a gentle soul, someone who has little but still thinks about giving. you can see the pain in her eyes. I can only hope that she felt some love from all of us before she passed. She was extraordinary
I am in tears. This poor woman does not deserve that.She broke my heart. I hope she found better days.
What beautiful skin she has. It’s glowing.
She has had a difficult life and given the set of circumstances she was dealt in life i am not sure I wouldn’t live like her as well. She is struggling. As any of us would be in her position.
I wish her all the best for her dreams of owning a trucking company in future. I am sure if you set your mind to chasing those dreams and not those drugs you will make it a long way xx
Sending love from Australia to you XX
She needs a vacation to a Caribbean island, go far up in the remote mountains and be rejuvenated .Listen to some conscious music, pray and be refreshed
So of these people need to be removed from their environment and experience something new
as if a nature retreat is gonna repair decades of trauma and abuse.. how sick are you
@@RoseEGlitch The start to recovery is a change of environment. why do you think most rehabilitation centers are in the middle of nowhere? It is so because an addict has to be withdrawn from the physical environment that fueled their addiction, hurt and pain. Therefore, my comment was basically a suggestion of a suitable location for her to experience healing .
Not that I am saying that the Caribbean does not have similar social ills but its just on a very small scale. It was just a simple suggestion , at the end of the day everyone needs a vacation right ?!
@@kamladavid4570 i liked what you said and i completely understood what you meant
Bonafide had me in tears, something about her energy was so beautiful. What stood out to me was when she said "if you have the right tools....you can reach your goals". If she had the right guidance, I could see her going so far in life. Her many struggles forced her to be such a strong woman and yet she still smiles.
Daaaaaaamn, she has a child by her own father 🤦🏾♀️😭😭😭😭 and she STILL glooooows, look at her skin! After doing crack, heroin and meth...she looks AMAZING after all of that being 38 with 7 kids!!! She is a walking miracle. Her poor kids tho...
I was so moved. Sis, I hope you get your life together. I'm sorry nobody protected you your ENTIRE LIFE! I ask the UNIVERSE to guide you on your path to REDEMPTION because you are WORTHY of LOVE, SUCCESS AND RESPECT! IM ROOTING FOR U!!!!
This poor woman went through more suffering for a million lifetimes, and it all started with her "daddy."
I absolutely loved her spirit. I’m glad I clicked on her video because I wasn’t expecting this to be what it was. I feel so bad for the experiences that she’s been thru but she’s a warrior for real!! I want to see her win and own that trucking business. Keep that optimism Bonafide!!! You’re going to make it. I can see it. ❤️💪🏾
The hug at the end of the interview broke me down into 😭.
