From Surviving Abuse to Empowering Others with Hope and Purpose with Stacy Ann Smith | #TheLastZebra

Stacy Ann Smith — therapist, nonprofit founder, and survivor — joins The Last Zebra Podcast to share a story of faith, forgiveness, and fierce compassion.

From surviving childhood trauma to dedicating her life to helping women trapped in cycles of abuse, sex work, and human trafficking, Stacyann’s journey is one of purpose born from pain. What began as a trip to Indonesia turned into a calling that now transforms lives across Jamaica through her organization, Pursued International Foundation.

In this heartfelt episode, she and Dr. Ugo Ezema explore the intersection of faith, justice, and mercy — how hope can rebuild what trauma once shattered, and why every story, no matter how broken, deserves to be heard.

This is The Last Zebra: where empathy meets action, and faith becomes a force for healing.
