Scars run deep. How does anyone reconcile pain and trauma with faith in God? In the second spoken word piece taken from the full interview (available to listen now!), Hasina shares her personal account of her scars.

Hasina found herself gripped by Heroin at 16 and was injecting it by 18 when she also served her first prison sentence. Not only is she now free from addiction and the lifestyle that comes with it, she claims to have found a much deeper freedom only available from Jesus.

Katie Carlyle, also known as Fazey. Once so full of hate; a life without hope; a life of drugs, crime and prison cells.

Her search for meaning and answers took her on an exploration of all faiths and philosophies. A Muslim for a time, everything changed when she met Jesus.

Hear Fazey's transformation story and poetry. Simply beautiful.
