Nichol Bridges is a survivor of multiple incidents of violence. A current member of the RAINN Speakers Bureau, Nicole bears all in this Initiated Survivor interview. From her childhood when she encountered unwanted sexual advances from men much older than her, to being assaulted by multiple peers, to suffering violence at the hands of an ex-boyfriend, Nichol recounts these horrific experiences as an open book.  Nichol's strength shines through her raw honesty of her life as a survivor.  Taking us through the moment she first started to heal to when she decided to become a force of change, Nichol is paying it forward by working to create a better place for all of us.
