Tonight’s special guest is Victoria Valentino from California. Ms. Valentino was an acting student in New York’s American Theatre Wing. Born in Hollywood during WWII, she was raised in Connecticut. When she became Playboy’s Miss September 1963, it radically redirected her life and career. She was a multi-rape, child, and domestic abuse and sex trafficking survivor by the age of 21. As a struggling single mother to a racially mixed son, she became an actress, a Go-Go dancer, folksinger- songwriter to make ends meet. She opened the first Playboy Club on the Sunset Strip on New Year’s Eve 1964. In 1969 on the day she was celebrating her recording contract with Capitol Records, her six-year-old son drowned in her music attorney’s swimming pool in the Hollywood Hills. Several weeks later, she was drugged, kidnapped, and raped by Bill Cosby. Victoria became a Registered Nurse and specialized in Home Hospice; Ms. Valentino has been in many magazines and news articles. Today she lives in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains with her dogs and a big orange cat. She's a keynote speaker, sexual assault activist, and mentor to survivors of rape and sexual assault. Accepting many awards. She looks forward to more crocheting, gardening, cooking gumbo, spending time with her six grandchildren, and just maybe, writing her next book. Ms. Valentino is quoted as saying, “I feel as though I’m just beginning to live my real life.” Everyone is invited to engage in tonight's show.

Tonight's special guest is Tanisha Bankston. She's a mother of 3 children, from Grenada Mississippi. She is a survivor of rape, molestation, incest, childhood sexual abuse, bullying, domestic violence, and Narcissistic Abuse. She's an author and speaker. She was raped at the age of 5 and not believed. She instantly lost her inner voice and went into a shell that took 27 years to come out of. She was taken from her mom, separated from my siblings, and adopted by my aunt. The broken judicial system failed her and she became a teen mom at age 14. One of her brothers died from a drug overdose. She was in toxic and dysfunctional relationships until she found her inner voice. She wrote and self-published my book “My Pain is My Power” on May 21, 2021. I created a private support group for survivors of sexual assault and domestic called “I Believe You” on Facebook. I have started a nonprofit organization called I Believe You Inc. Her podcast launched on April 1, 2022, and it’s called “My Pain is My Power Podcast.” I co-authored a book called “Joy Comes in The Morning.” I want people to know that there is HOPE!
