I learned that the world wasn’t safe for myself or anyone at 6 years old when I was sexually assaulted by someone I knew and thought would protect me.
They didn’t.
Instead, they chose to use me and abuse me.
I had no language to say anything about this, so I stayed silent.
I thought it was my fault, something I had done.
It didn’t make any sense.
When my sibling said something he had groomed me with, I realized it was happening to them, too.
We told.
Kids need to have the conversation.
THEY HAVE
Do you have something to say that makes you feel strong when you say it, or that you think may inspire others, or that you think people need to hear?
We are excited to hear from you.
