About

Reassign the Shame. Speak. Heal. Awaken.

You’ve known for a while now that something isn’t right.

You’ve buried it. Pushed it down. Carried it in silence. And for a long time, you convinced yourself that surviving was enough.

But what if survival was never the end goal?

What if, deep down, the exhaustion you feel, the relationships that don’t seem to work, the triggers you hide, the ache that won’t go away, are all whispering the same thing?

You haven’t fully healed.

And I get it – because I lived it.

You’ve carried shame that was never yours.

You’ve protected people who didn’t protect you.

You’ve feared what would happen if you ever spoke the truth out loud.

And in the quiet moments… you know: you’ve abandoned yourself for too long.

But not anymore.

Who I Am:

My name is Larissa Rhone. Author, mother, survivor, and founder of Journey 2 Free.

I’m a third-generation survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I was born with sickle cell anemia. I’ve suffered in silence, grieved in secret, and performed strength like my life depended on it, because for a long time, it did.

But I got tired.

Tired of the spiritual fatigue.

Tired of smiling on the outside and suffocating on the inside.

Tired of waiting for healing to happen without doing the real work.

And in that breaking, God began to rebuild me. Now I use every part of my story, every scar and surrendered silence, to guide other survivors back home to themselves.

Why Journey 2 Free Exists

Because there are too many of us walking around with unspoken grief, silenced by shame, and hiding behind our “strength.”

Because our communities, our families, and even our faith circles have taught us to keep quiet… to endure… to protect our abusers.

Because “just pray about it” is not a replacement for doing the work.

Journey 2 Free is for the ones still silently aching.

The ones still waiting for someone to say, “It’s time. You matter. You deserve to heal.”

We speak the unspeakable.

We reassign the shame.

We create spaces where survivors become thrivers, not in spite of their pain, but because they chose to face it.

What We Offer:

We’re not just a nonprofit, we’re a movement.

A faith-rooted, culturally conscious, survivor-led community that helps you:

💙 Break the silence – and reclaim your voice

💙 Rebuild your life – through education, advocacy, retreats, and support

💙 Heal holistically – spirit, soul, and body

🙏🏾 Step into purpose – knowing that your story has the power to free others, too.

Let’s Be Honest…

You’ve been waiting for the right time to start.

But healing doesn’t happen later, it happens when you decide.

The truth is, fear has kept you hostage long enough.

Shame has been lying to you long enough.

And you’ve been putting yourself last for far too long.

So here’s the invitation: don’t stay stuck.

Don’t spend another year, another month, another day surviving in pieces when healing is calling your name.

This is your permission to start again.

To choose you.

To step into the community.

To finally feel free.

Join me, as I/we Journey 2 Free.

From my heart to yours,

Larissa
