Episode 46- My Pre-conversation with Ama K. Karikari About Silence Pain, Suffering, and Abuse

Author: Goddess Asha Mariama August 14, 2026 Duration: 1:03:50
In this episode, I had a pre-conversation with Ama K. Karikari about silence abuse, pain, and suffering when it comes to relationships, as far as family, romantic relationships, and friendships. She tells her story about what she experienced in her 15-year marriage and the silence abuse that she experienced during the marriage. We talked about the damage of silence when it comes to abuse, pain, and suffering from the people that you love. How can silence mean that you are allowing and giving permission for people to hurt, abuse, neglect, manipulate, and take advantage of you? How can silence be harmful to the point that it affects your self-esteem and how you see yourself? How did she overcome the silence abuse, and get out of the marriage? What was the breaking point that made her leave? How can silence be abusive, and no one think that it is abuse? A little about Ama: she is a TEDxGeorgeSchool speaker, author of Silenced to Soaring, transformational guide, attorney, and founder who helps women understand covert emotional harm and reconnect with their voice. Her perspective is shaped by work with women’s leadership, educational, and community audiences, along with studies at Harvard, Penn Law, and Wharton. It was a beautiful conversation that I wanted to share with my audience when it comes to overcoming adversity, pain, abuse, trauma, and suffering due to silence. The second part is coming soon. I hope you guys enjoy the conversation.

Hosted by Goddess Asha Mariama, African Melanin Queens is a space dedicated to the affirmation and holistic elevation of Black women. This podcast directly confronts the damaging narratives that suggest independent women, single mothers, or those deemed average or unattractive by societal standards are not worthy of high-value partnerships or self-love. Each episode serves as a counter-narrative, weaving together discussions on culture, mental fortitude, and physical well-being to reinforce a core truth: you are inherently enough. The conversation extends beyond mere encouragement, delving into practical education and self-improvement strategies that honor the full spectrum of the Black female experience. Listeners will find a blend of personal reflection, cultural analysis, and actionable advice on health and fitness, all framed within a context of societal awareness. It’s a gathering for those seeking to reclaim their narrative and find strength in community. Tune in for honest dialogue that celebrates beauty in all its forms-flaws, imperfections, and past mistakes included-while building a foundation for unshakable confidence and continued growth. This is where the journey back to self, in all its powerful and multifaceted glory, truly begins.
