What if the person you loved most was living a lie?

In this powerful episode of Anomalous Black Women, host Bina Banks sits down with her sister, Dr. Tonya Johnson, author of the memoir The Long Con: A 12-Year Marriage Built on Lies.

Together, they peel back the layers of deception, emotional abuse, and silent suffering that shaped Tonya’s experience and the radical self-trust it took to finally walk away and tell her story.

This isn’t just about betrayal. It’s about survival. It’s about clarity over closure. It’s about what it means to write your way back to yourself.

✨ You’ll hear:

  • How Dr. Johnson uncovered a web of lies in her marriage

  • The emotional toll of writing her truth

  • What it really takes to heal and protect your peace

Grab your tea and your journal. This one’s not just a story, it’s a mirror.
