Loading player...
*Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence and trauma.*
In 2011, Zoe Solomon survived a brutal home invasion that left her physically injured and emotionally shaken. It was a terrifying ordeal, but Zoe didn’t let it define her.
In this powerful episode of The Comeback, she speaks to Carol Ofori about the long road to reclaiming her life after that night. From her initial recovery to the ongoing impact of trauma, Zoe’s story is one of quiet strength, determination, and resilience.
Over a decade later, Zoe is not only living with the scars of her past but actively shaping the future. Now a ward councillor and community leader, she continues to serve others with empathy and courage, not because of what happened to her, but because of who she has always been.
