Rai’Yana sits down with Indelibly Marked to open the deepest wounds of her childhood — the kind she grew up believing she wasn’t allowed to talk about.
Raised between a mother battling heavy drug addiction and a father who worked constantly but expressed his pain through physical and verbal abuse, Rai’Yana spent most of her early life feeling unwanted in the very places that were supposed to protect her.
Even though her father removed her from her mother’s addiction, the environment he brought her into left scars of its own.
Despite having nine siblings, she felt isolated, invisible, and emotionally neglected.

This is a raw, vulnerable, and powerful testimony — the kind that defines Indelibly Marked.
Her story will resonate with anyone who grew up feeling “present but unprotected,” or who is still trying to understand how childhood pain shaped their adult identity.

Bump Jonas ( @sprinklesumsalt ) opens up like never before.
From thinking he was the oldest child until age nine… to discovering three older siblings he never knew existed — this revelation changed the entire way he viewed the world. Guided by his big sister who acted more like a mother, Bump learned how to move through the streets of Houston, Texas with awareness and discipline. His sister not only taught him the game of survival but also sparked his lifelong love for hip-hop.
Bump feels that trust is everything — and how that loyalty shaped the way he moves to this day . He speaks about growing up fast, the street situations that almost took him down the wrong path, and the moment that made him start separating from the chaos.
Now blending his roots from Houston, Oakland, and Kansas City , Bump explains how hip-hop became both his therapy and his identity. But his story doesn’t stop there — he opens up about his dislike for police, the differences he’s seen in law enforcement between Houston, Oakland, and Kansas City, and the emotion he still carries from witnessing a young Black man get done wrong by the system.
He also speaks on love — his interracial marriage, the cultural learning curve, and how understanding differences became another form of strength. Finally, he reflects on purpose — asking himself if he’s truly walking in the calling he’s meant for.
This episode of Indelibly Marked is raw, unapologetic, and deeply human.
It’s about family, loyalty, pain, and finding purpose in a world that tests you.
