In this moving episode of Resilient Voices & Beyond Podcast, host Michael D. Davis-Thomas is joined by the inspiring Victoria “V” DeHart, a 24-year-old adoptee, advocate, motivational speaker, and social work student, to discuss her incredible story of resilience and healing. Born in a prison in Kaliningrad, Russia, and adopted as a baby, Victoria’s life has been marked by immense challenges, but her journey serves as a testament to the power of faith, self-love, and perseverance.
Victoria shares her deeply personal experiences growing up in an abusive environment, including the physical, emotional, and sexual trauma she endured as a child. Feeling like a black sheep in her adoptive family, she faced self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and cycles of hurt. Despite her struggles, Victoria refused to let her past define her. Instead, she chose to reshape her life, finding hope and purpose through faith and personal growth.
A turning point came in 2022 when Victoria attended a Jesus Night event, felt the Holy Spirit, and got baptized. This moment solidified her commitment to healing and advocacy. Today, she is an active member of the Traverse Place/REACH Board, a college student pursuing social work, and a motivational content creator on TikTok. Through her advocacy, public speaking, and mentoring, Victoria empowers others to find joy, embrace their stories, and discover that healing is possible.
