To bring in Sexual Assault Awareness month, I’ve finally decided that I am ready to tell my story. For years, I’ve kept myself stagnant in the energy of being perceived as anything else but a survivor and I see now how that has affected me mentally. But no more.

In this episode I unpack some of my sexual trauma in hopes I can give the next person the strength to speak up on theirs. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve been sexually assaulted and it’s ever. Single. Finger. I didn’t report or even speak on most of them because I was influenced by stigmas and rape culture but I free myself of that now. I break this cycle of silence for myself. For my little brother. For my family. For my community. For you. If you can’t stand with me in the forefront, spread what you learn to someone you love. Take care <3

Please feel free to hml on my IG @ryynizzle or my email [email protected] if this touched you! I’d love to hear your stories and uplift you too :) Let’s build this community yall!!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
