My Vision

We must as society shine a light on the darkness that hides sexual abuse. Where there is light there cannot be darkness. We cannot eradicate sexual abuse…

*Everything I write is from my own personal experience. I am not a medical professional or therapist. What you read is my journey*

Imagine you attended a wedding. You are one of the 200 guests the bride and groom invited. As you sit in the church pew you look out at the wedding party. Six groomsmen and six bridesmaids stand in beautifully formal dress. It is unlikely that you would have the thought, “1 of those bridesmaids and 1 of those groomsmen have been sexually abused.” Though, that is the fact.

I chose that image, because it is relatable and contrasts the beauty of a wedding with the ugliness of sexual trauma. I chose that image because sexual abuse is a problem that rages on with little attention, and to combat that we need to draw our attention to it. Those who have experience sexual trauma can not be the only ones who know the facts.

My vision for the platform I am building is twofold: 1. Inspire men to face their sexual trauma and 2. To give people an honest and raw view into what life is like for someone healing from sexual trauma. To be sure, these are not conversations anyone wants to have. However, these are conversations that need to be had. We must as society shine light on the darkness that hides sexual abuse. Where there is light there cannot be darkness. We cannot eradicate sexual abuse, but by educating ourselves we can reduce the number of those abused and make society safer for those who were.

I thank you for your support.

I commend you for being part of the solution.
