Shatter The Silence™

I was raped in November 2008. January 2011, I entered a courtroom and told the story of my rape. I told this story in front of many family and friends, and the man that rape me. I have struggled the past 2 years with many PTSD symptoms and after my testimony I thought my work was done. Boy, was I wrong. The jury ultimately found him not guilty, even though we had tons of evidence and his story didn’t make sense. I have now realized that my story did not end in that courtroom. I have many gifts and strengths to offer to my community. Results of the trial did nothing but empower me to do good things and spread the word about sexual assault.
