Awhile ago on Facebook, a friend of mine shared a link to a post on BuzzFeed. It was for Project Unbreakable. In this post I watched a video about a lady named Grace who was helping bring to light something no one talks about, sexual assault. It is the abuse that is whispered about because the victims feel ashamed and everyone else is basically clueless. Grace gives the victims, no, I mean survivors a voice. A chance to take back what was stolen from them.
In the video a person holds up a sign that has what their perpetrator said on it. It is what they said to them. When I watched this I cried. I remember myself being told so many times "You better not cry.". Stuff like that sticks with you. I have a hard time to this day crying in front of people. I have to hold my emotions in check.
What this woman is doing is remarkable. She is helping so many people have a voice again. I recommend checking out the post on BuzzFeed. I will post links.
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do." ~~Eleanor Roosevelt
