We teach kids to avoid strangers. To trust their gut. To believe home means safety. But what if home was the danger?
In this first episode of The Shadow Sessions, host Hiba Balfaqih sits down with Aziza Kibibi — a survivor whose story of incest, betrayal, and survival shatters the illusion of safety. Aziza was abused by her father, forced to carry and raise his children, and silenced by those meant to protect her. Today, she is a whistleblower, author, and advocate fighting to expose the systems that failed her and to change the laws that still protect abusers.
This conversation is not just about what happened — it’s about the courage it takes to speak, to heal, and to turn survival into advocacy.
