I have learned so much as an advocate. Each woman I sit with is ininitely<br />

important to me. Every story is diferent and every story matters. My story is<br />

not less important than yours and yours is not less important than mine.<br />

Rape is an attack on your soul, on who you are as a woman. I can no longer<br />

pretend it didn’t matter because doing so implies that it is ok to treat my<br />

body and soul with disrespect. I can only heal by speaking the truth. The<br />

truth is, I was raped. It was not my fault. It mattered. I matter. I deserve to be<br />

treated with dignity and respect. I am worth more. I am beautiful. I am brave. I<br />

am courageous. I am stronger than I ever dreamed possible.<br />
