My name is Nancy Powers, and I’m a passionate advocate for victims of sexual assault. My life’s mission is to break the silence surrounding this pervasive issue and ignite a movement of individuals who refuse to tolerate abuse any longer. While the ‘Me Too’ movement brought attention to sexual harassment, we must also confront the taboo topic of abuse within families. Too often, children are left unaware of what constitutes sexual abuse, and societal misconceptions perpetuate the myth that it only happens outside the family circle. The truth is, abusers can be anyone, including family members. I know this firsthand, as my own life was scarred by familial abuse, initially unrecognized. It was through my faith and spirituality, as well as seeking guidance through various self help book, that I found healing from the pain within. Today’s children are bombarded with information but lack the tools to decipher it all. Let’s shatter the silence and empower them to speak out against abuse!
