I stand as an advocate for the little girl in me who suffered at the hands of predatory people. I am the voice calling out to protect those beautiful, innocent children who are unknowingly about to be violated. I speak for the many women and men who have already endured sexual, mental, and emotional abuse by those they trusted. I am the voice for those who have been violated but have yet to find the courage to speak their truth. I was once silent, but now I speak.
