I am a victim of child sexual abuse by my uncle as a small child and sexually assaulted when I was 17 years old by a stranger. A little known fact is that being sexually assaulted puts you at a much higher risk of being assaulted again in the future, as does childhood sexual abuse.

Jane Doe No More has given me an opportunity to share my story. I enjoy speaking and connecting with others. It makes me feel heard and I know my message is important.

“If you can’t fly then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”
—Martin Luther King Jr.
