Thank you to each and everyone of you. The more of us who speak out, tell the truth and claim our space, the better life will be for everyone. Everyone deserves to live in a safe, supportive environment. Thank you Maggie for making this space/environment of dignity and safety available.

Crying. Happy and sad. Happy to have found this place. Sad that I cannot seem to summon the courage to give you my story. There are a few people in my life who know the story but I’m afraid that telling it will hurt people to know this about me.

This was such an amazing video. My heart is in my throat and I’m covered in goose bumps.

Thank you for providing a place where all these women (and men) can speak out. I saw so many familiar faces that have already spoken out. You helped them do that. You have made a real difference. You have broken the silence.

I couldn’t stop crying when I viewed the video. I have no words to say other than “thank you”. I hope to show this video to my daughter one day to tell her how we both not only survived, but spoke out together!
