I am a victim of child abuse by family and friends and adult rape by a stranger, landlord and friend. My family is always at the heart of all I do.

Sharing my story as often as I have has been very cathartic for me. I find strength and courage in every word I utter. Bringing people together to feel free to share their stories too, is immeasurably wonderful. I find love and respect and admiration from those I speak to 100% of the time. I also love the fact I am bringing a survivor led organization to my own state! There is power in speaking.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” 
—  Isaiah 43:2
