What people are saying
I think it’s so important to continue the conversation, especially now, because sexual violence is a real problem
So, it’s something we must take the shame out of the conversation around it, and learn how to talk about it.
I’m talking to much younger kids about consent
Trauma doesn’t make sense. Violence doesn’t make sense. The aftereffects that it leaves in you don’t make sense.
