Tia Levings Is The Only One Who Chose Her Identity Over Her Marriage Episode 173

Only One In The Room

What if you grew up in Christian Fundamentalism and were taught that a women’s role was to serve as a model of duty and purity?

Author and activist, Tia Levings took her four children and fled her marriage in the middle of the night, leaving everything she had ever known behind.

But what if after you remarried, your husband asked you to choose between him and writing. Would you revert back to being a well-trained wife and agree to give up the career that you loved? Or would you step into the unknown again and claim your identity for all the world to see?
