Shared Stories

This afternoon I was honoured to speak about my experience of coercive control at the Sagesse Fundraiser Eat, Play, Love.

After I spoke, I was privileged to have several people come to me and share their stories. I cannot express how moved and grateful I was to receive their stories.

Last night, I gathered with a group of women who allowed me to share a glimpse of my experience, then several of them shared as well.

This is a gift.

There is power in sharing our stories of abuse. It’s healing & empowering.

When we share, we break the silence of abuse. When we share, we come together. When we share, we become stronger.

I’ve been inspired and feel incredibly honoured to have heard these stories and shared moments with incredible people.

If we are to hold abusers to account - our voices must be heard and our stories need to be shared.
