I always declined invitations like these even before the assault, I struggled with social anxiety and was nervous about making new friends. I had just transferred jobs, and one of my new colleagues invited me to a party at her house.

In fact, according to the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) “out of every 1,000 sexual assaults, 995 perpetrators will walk free.” My story shows that healing is possible, whether or not the assailant is brought to justice.Īt 23-years-old, I was still finishing my undergraduate degree, as well as working full-time. Unfortunately, many survivors will not see their assailants brought to justice.

And, for secondary survivors and other concerned community members, I hope that hearing my story will inspire you to “Be the Change” in your community by helping combat and prevent sexual assault and supporting victims of sexual violence. I promise you will get through this, and I send my love and hopes for healing to all survivors who read this. So, today, I share with you my survivor story to provide encouragement to those who fear they will never be able to “Restore the Joy” in their lives. In this strange time of social distancing, it can be easy for survivors of sexual assault to feel physically isolated and emotionally alone.
