Anjelle-Sophia Kamau was just a girl when the world began to hurt her in ways no child should ever endure. From the haunting silence of childhood sexual abuse to the crushing weight of mental illness, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm, this raw and unflinching memoir pulls back the curtain on the invisible battles far too many people face in silence. But this is not just a story about trauma. It’s a story about survival. Told through the emotionally intelligent voice of a young woman who refused to give up — even when giving up felt easier — I Survived Me is a deeply personal journey through pain, shame, healing, and the long, nonlinear path back to herself. If you’ve ever felt like you had to be strong for everyone else while falling apart inside, if you’ve ever struggled with self-worth, if you’re still trying to figure out how to survive yourself — this book was written for you. You’ll find pieces of yourself in these pages. You’ll feel seen. And you’ll be reminded that you are not alone. You are not too broken. You are still here. And that matters.
