    I am not a victim. No matter what I have been through, I’m still here. I have a history of victory.

    Sexual assault can happen to anyone— and it's never your fault. It's not how you dress or how you act or you've slept with— or anything to do with who you are. It's an assault and it's never okay. You are not alone.
