Yolanda Carter’s life changed in an instant—when she woke up in a pool of blood after her boyfriend brutally attacked her with a hammer, leaving her for dead. What saved her? Her 12-year-old son waking up just in time.
In this powerful and emotional episode, Yolanda shares her journey through domestic violence, which began at age 19. She opens up about surviving near-death trauma, undergoing multiple surgeries, and learning to live after losing her eye. But Yolanda is not just a survivor—she’s a fierce advocate, speaker, and fighter for others still trapped in silence.
Her courage has not gone unnoticed. Yolanda was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award signed by President Joe Biden, and her story has been followed by the Chicago news.
From unimaginable pain to powerful purpose, Yolanda Carter is using her voice to save lives.
