Courageous Survivor Stories
Featured
“You’re not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth, and raging courage.”
As I have been honored to read the stories and writing that such brave survivors have submitted for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I have been reflecting on my own healing journey.
