In this episode of Indelibly Marked, popular 911 dispatcher Gaby (@9​⁠ shares her unfiltered testimony — revealing the trauma that shaped her long before she ever answered a 911 call.
Born in Mexico, Gaby opens up about growing up in an abusive household where her father was unfaithful and physically abusive toward her mother. After her mother left and remarried, Gaby describes a painful shift in her home life — one where she was emotionally and verbally mistreated by both her mother and stepfather.
She speaks candidly about being called foul names, being overly controlled, and being deprived of normal childhood experiences like cartoons, video games, and social freedom. That mistreatment led Gaby to believe her mother did not care for her or want her, creating deep emotional wounds that followed her into adulthood.
Despite spending her childhood trying to be “the good kid” and earn trust, Gaby says she never felt protected, believed, or chosen.
Later in the episode, Gaby pulls back the curtain on life as a police dispatcher, sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly of the job. She opens up about emotionally triggering calls, moral conflicts within the system, and the mental toll of staying composed while people experience the worst moments of their lives.
She also speaks about going beyond protocol — choosing to listen to callers who just need someone to vent — not because she has to, but because she believes being heard could save a life.
This episode is a raw look at childhood trauma, maternal wounds, emotional resilience, and the unseen weight carried by first responders.

In this Indelibly Marked episode, Ivionce opens up about growing up in a home split between a militant, physically abusive father and a more lenient but unprotected mother — and how, as a child, she found herself stepping into adult conflict far too early, defending her mother with whatever she had.
She reflects on the trauma of witnessing her father at his breaking point, speaking about meeting his end, and the deep emotional scars left behind by her parents’ divorce. She recounts the shock of discovering her father had another child — a truth her mother learned years later — and the awkward, painful process of trying to build a relationship with a little brother born from betrayal.
Ivionce speaks honestly about how unresolved trauma shaped her behavior — becoming a hot-headed kid constantly in fights, drawn to dangerous relationships that mirrored the chaos she grew up in. From infidelity and violence to guns being pulled on her, she stayed longer than she should have, trapped in cycles she didn’t yet know how to escape.
Motherhood changed everything.
She shares how having her son forced her to confront herself, acknowledge her parenting flaws, and actively unlearn patterns passed down to her. She opens up about raising her son while his father was incarcerated — then the difficult, humbling process of letting him back into their lives after release, knowing her son needed his father even when it required surrendering control.
This episode also traces her path toward healing, including a three-year journey of celibacy, self-reflection, and accountability — choosing growth over repetition.
This is a story about violence, survival, motherhood, and the hard work of breaking generational cycles — told with honesty, courage, and reflection.

At just 4 years old, Nana lost her father — with only fragments of memory and painful stories about how he died. What followed was a childhood marked by chaos, addiction, instability, and survival.
Raised in a drug-infested home filled with addiction, Kick-ins by The Law , and constant turmoil, Nana and her brother lived with their grandmother, who could not walk. As children, they were forced into adult roles — acting as caretakers, CNAs, and maids far too young. Despite the hardship, Nana deeply loved her grandmother and learned invaluable lessons about strength, compassion, and endurance.
At 15 years old, Nana lost her grandmother — a loss that shattered her foundation.
She courageously shares the painful truth of being violated by a family member, an experience no child should ever endure. The betrayal of silence from someone who knew forced Nana to carry trauma quietly for years — choosing forgiveness long before she ever spoke about it publicly.
Later in life, Nana faced an unimaginable loss: the death of her first daughter, E’Niyah Jones, to cancer. While pregnant with her second child, she details the hospital rooms, the emotional toll, and the profound strength of a child whose faith in God never wavered. Nana speaks about how E’Niyah’s joy, love, and belief carried the entire family through the darkest moments.
She opens up about how that loss reshaped her relationship with God, changed how she experiences death, and how she, her youngest daughter, and her family now celebrate E’Niyah’s life rather than only mourn her passing.
As if that weren’t enough, Nana also shares the terrifying story of being shot by someone she was in a relationship with, years after losing her daughter — another chapter of survival added to a life already marked by trauma.
This episode is not just about pain — it’s about endurance, faith, forgiveness, motherhood, and survival.
