When Victoria arrived at the Children of the Night home at just 13 years old, she stood out — not for what she’d been through, but for how brilliant she was. She quickly became the highest-testing student the program had ever seen, even as she navigated the trauma of her past.
In this episode, Victoria reflects on her time living at the Children of the Night home, where she celebrated holidays for the first time, went on outings to Disneyland and baseball games, and rediscovered what it meant to be a child.
Dr. Lois Lee and Victoria discuss how education, structure, and compassion can rewrite a child’s story — and how Children of the Night continues to stand by survivors long after they turn 18, even helping Victoria and her children attend college.
