From the Crackhouse to the White House
"From the Crack House to the White House" delves into the gripping and inspiring journey of Tonja Myles as she overcomes the depths of despair to find redemption and purpose in her life.From a young age, Tonja was plagued by sexual abuse and torment. Seeking solace from the pain, she turned to drugs and sex, spiraling down a dark and dangerous path. Men became her sponsors, fueling her addiction while masking her emotional wounds. Desperate to escape the torment of her existence, Tonja found herself attempting suicide multiple times. But fate had different plans.
"As a little girl, I always love to entertain people and make them laugh. My family always created spaces for me to do just that. But one day I became this little girl who had no desire to live. I carried pain and shame that my small body frame was not able to handle. One day I died, and nobody grieved for me. That trauma followed me throughout my life. Until one day I fought my way to live!"
