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.
