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.

In this episode of Indelibly Marked, Kamilah Johnson returns alongside her mother, Phyllis Johnson — though they arrive separately and with unresolved conflict between them.

Phyllis appears on the show to address and defend herself against claims Kamilah previously made online, including allegations that Phyllis assisted Child Protective Services (CPS) during a case involving Kamilah’s son, Mi’Aani. Phyllis shares her account of what occurred to her knowledge with CPS, hospital staff, and the legal system, as well as her perspective on Kamilah’s parenting, the decisions she believes led to the situation, and why she ultimately took in the children.

Kamilah is then given the opportunity to respond to her mother’s statements and defend herself against the claims made about her. The conversation covers topics including alleged medical kidnapping, Kamilah being on the run, custody of the children, and long-standing personal grievances between mother and daughter.

The discussion becomes tense, and despite the intent to create space for understanding or reconciliation, the conversation escalates and remains unresolved by the end of the episode.

Additionally, Kamilah later returns alone for a separate recorded update, which is included at the end of the episode, where she shares new developments about Mi’Aani , her other children , and her current perspective on the situation. She also answers questions from people who left comments on YouTube and TikTok from her last episode.

Rai’Yana sits down with Indelibly Marked to open the deepest wounds of her childhood — the kind she grew up believing she wasn’t allowed to talk about.
Raised between a mother battling heavy drug addiction and a father who worked constantly but expressed his pain through physical and verbal abuse, Rai’Yana spent most of her early life feeling unwanted in the very places that were supposed to protect her.
Even though her father removed her from her mother’s addiction, the environment he brought her into left scars of its own.
Despite having nine siblings, she felt isolated, invisible, and emotionally neglected.

This is a raw, vulnerable, and powerful testimony — the kind that defines Indelibly Marked.
Her story will resonate with anyone who grew up feeling “present but unprotected,” or who is still trying to understand how childhood pain shaped their adult identity.
If this episode gives you clarity, comfort, or conviction… please share it. Someone needs it. #indeliblymarked #podcast #testimony #storytime

Bump Jonas ( @sprinklesumsalt ) opens up like never before.
From thinking he was the oldest child until age nine… to discovering three older siblings he never knew existed — this revelation changed the entire way he viewed the world. Guided by his big sister who acted more like a mother, Bump learned how to move through the streets of Houston, Texas with awareness and discipline. His sister not only taught him the game of survival but also sparked his lifelong love for hip-hop.
Bump feels that trust is everything — and how that loyalty shaped the way he moves to this day . He speaks about growing up fast, the street situations that almost took him down the wrong path, and the moment that made him start separating from the chaos.
Now blending his roots from Houston, Oakland, and Kansas City , Bump explains how hip-hop became both his therapy and his identity. But his story doesn’t stop there — he opens up about his dislike for police, the differences he’s seen in law enforcement between Houston, Oakland, and Kansas City, and the emotion he still carries from witnessing a young Black man get done wrong by the system.
He also speaks on love — his interracial marriage, the cultural learning curve, and how understanding differences became another form of strength. Finally, he reflects on purpose — asking himself if he’s truly walking in the calling he’s meant for.
This episode of Indelibly Marked is raw, unapologetic, and deeply human.
It’s about family, loyalty, pain, and finding purpose in a world that tests you.
