What do I do with this fire?

As a survivor of sexual violence, I carry a fire in my chest that never goes out. It’s the kind of fire that doesn’t just burn—it demands action. I can’t unsee what I’ve lived through, and I can’t ignore the reality that so many others are walking the same dark road I once did.

So what do I do with all this passion?
I speak. I share. I show up. I educate people who would rather look away. I stand beside survivors who can’t yet stand on their own. I push for laws that protect us, not silence us. I take my pain and turn it into purpose.

Raising awareness isn’t just about statistics or campaigns—it’s about human lives. It’s about looking someone in the eye and letting them know, You matter. You are believed. You deserve justice.

My passion is not a burden. It’s my fuel. And every time I use it, I know I’m not just surviving anymore. I’m changing the world—one conversation, one training, one brave truth at a time.
