Victim to Victor
Amanda talks about her story of reclaiming her life after surviving rape. She has found peace, forgiveness and courage to tell her story to inspire others. Read her Bio. Hello. I am Amanda Collins Johnson during my 4th year of college, I was raped at gun point by a man who went on to kidnap and rape his second victim and then rape and murder his third known victim. After surviving this brutal attack, I was stuck in the void of emptiness and wanted more than to merely exist, but I didn’t know how. My journey of learning how to live after surviving gave me a devotion to leading others back to the land of the living by reclaiming a full life. I am passionate about sharing my story with courage and conviction so others can be empowered to live a full life after surviving rape. Those who know me best know I consider my best accomplishment to be my family. I am thankful to be Nate’s loving wife and homeschooling momma to three beautiful daughters who keep me busy. I have had the honor of sharing my story through various platforms. Including college campuses, women’s conferences, and law enforcement conferences. I have been featured on She Speaks Stories podcast, Fox and Friends, The Glenn Beck show, and in several publications. I enjoy quality time with my family, mentoring young women, leading Bible studies and a long run after a stressful day.
