I've always known that being a woman can be dangerous in this world.

I never knew how similar stories can be.

It can be, can be.

Welcome to Pretty Private with Ebeney, the podcast where silence is broken and stories are set free.

I'm Ebeney and every Tuesdays I'll be sharing all new anonymous stories that would challenge

your perceptions and give you new insight on the people around you.

On Pretty Private, we'll explore the untold experiences of women of color who faced it all.

Childhood trauma, addiction, abuse, incarceration,

grief, mental health struggles, and more, and found the shrimp to make it to the other side.

My dad was shot and killed in his house. Yes, he was a drug dealer. Yes, he was a confidential informant,

but he wasn't shot on a street corner.

He wasn't shot in the middle of a drug deal.

He was shot in his house, unarmed.

You know, my mom, she always wanted her mom to have, you know, that dignity and that pride.

And I completely understand that.

Also sometimes have to take off those fantasy glasses and put on what I like to call your reality lenses.

And it's like, your mom died from a drinking problem.

And it's very, very unfortunate.

The relationship with my mother, the relationship with my siblings, how your trauma affects

those relationships, I think it's a worldwide universal knowing that being a woman in today's world is a lot.

From survivors and sex workers to professionals and cultural change makers, these powerful

interviews will shift your perspective and speak to your soul. Pretty Private isn't just a podcast.
