You’re Not Broken - You’re Just Silent
Maya Angelou once stopped speaking for seven years. Not because she was weak, but because her soul was carrying more than words could hold.
At just eight years old, Maya experienced trauma that no child should ever have to endure. Terrified to tell anyone, she silently suffered. It wasn't until her brother noticed that she wasn't acting the same. He pushed until she finally confided in him, her safe place. After the truth came out, the man responsible was killed; after only serving one night in jail. As a child, Maya believed it was her voice that caused his death. So she went silent. For nearly seven years, she didn’t speak.
But that silence wasn’t empty.
It was sacred.
It was listening.
It was healing.
It was growing roots.
And when her voice returned, it carried wisdom, power, and purpose. It became a voice that crossed nations and generations.
Maybe you’ve been silent too.
Not because you’re broken, but because your pain has been waiting for someone safe to meet it with love and compassion.
