About Tanisha Bankston

My name is Tanisha Bankston. I am a mother of 3 children. I am from Grenada, Mississippi. I am a survivor of rape, molestation, incest, childhood sexual abuse, bullying, domestic violence, and Narcissistic Abuse. I am an author and speaker. I was raped at the age of 5 and not believed. I instantly lost my inner voice and went into a shell that took 27 years to come out of. I was taken from my mom, separated from my siblings and adopted by my aunt. I thought I was protected but was only failed. The broken judicial system failed me. I became a teen mom at the tender ages of 14 and 17. I lost one of my brothers to an accidental drug overdose. I’ve been in toxic and dysfunctional relationships. I found my inner voice July 3, 2020. God healed and delivered me from my pain and passed on September 4, 2020. I wrote and self-published my book “My Pain is My Power” on May 21, 2021. I created a private support group for survivors of sexual assault and domestic called “I Believe You” on Facebook. I have started a nonprofit organization called I Believe You Inc. My podcast launched April 1, 2022, and it’s called “My Pain is My Power Podcast.” I have Co-Authored in a book called “Joy Comes in The Morning.” I want people to know that they too can get through what they’ve gone through or what they’re going through, and there is HOPE.
