Michelle

I am a victim of child abuse by a family friend and an adult rape by a home intruder. I am pursuing my undergraduate degree in Psychology.

Every time I share my story, it feels as if a weight has been lifted and the world gets a little brighter. And by sharing my story, other survivors have found the courage to find their voice which is never easy but, in a sense, so necessary. I am proud to be part of the Jane Doe No More organization because of their focus on not only education but empowering survivors.
