Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 3128

Tonight's special guest is Kimberly Stapleton from Augusta, Georgia. When she was young, Kimberly was adopted by two loving parents. She says, "In my early childhood years, my parents divorced, and it didn't seem to bother me at first. She went to live with her father and thought she was in a safe place but at 14, as she was entering high school, Kimberly was molested." She was alone. Kimberly had left her mom to go live with her father, an Over The Road truck driver. "Once I graduated high school, I started talking to girls and trying to help them get past things in their life as I too was trying to get past my hurt and pain." In 2017, Kimberly was invited to be a guest on an Internet Radio show and there she shared her testimony. "After the show, the producer asked if I would like to have my own show. He felt that it would help others. So, in July of that year, I started 'In My Own Words with Kimberly ImReal'. I had people reach out to me and thanked me for sharing. My story, as well as those I invited on my show, helped others." She stayed with the radio format for 2 years. In 2018 she started hosting her own event called 'Lay It Own The Table with Kimberly ImReal'. "In 2021 I started a ZOOM group called 'Keeping It Real with Kimberly and The Crew'." It has opened a lot of eyes. "I'm truly loving myself and the space I'm in." Kimberly continues to help others seeking speaking engagements. Filled with gratitude, she plans to start a Non-Profit this year dedicated to less fortunate parents, "I too could have been homeless," she says, "but God didn’t plan it that way. What he did plan is for me to know that I'm not better than anyone, but I must trust His Process for my life and not be ashamed of what I've been through."
