young girls and the women who had similar experiences to mine and that's when I really knew because now I would hear their stories and I'm helping them get out of their situations and I'm like I'm literally having the deja vu because I was just there like four years ago five years ago what and then it really begins to hit you and you even go through like this
this phase of even more denial and discovery and trauma, like you really start unpacking all of that stuff because you think you're unique. You think that this situation was just your situation until someone tells you no. The way I deal with it and then I teach the members of the network to deal with it is by owning it.
Extreme ownership of your story because for so long as a victim, things are taken from you. You have no choice. You have to kind of do what you're told to do. When you take your story and you own it, this is mine and you can't make me feel bad about it, anybody. You can't make me say anything wrong. You literally cannot attack me with my own story.
So once you own it and then decide I'm going to use it for good, I'm going to talk about it. publicly to whoever will listen. I'm going to educate about it because this is an injustice.
Well, because first of all, you don't think you're a victim. You don't think you're a victim until someone pulls you out and tells you you're a victim, especially when you're a minor. But secondly, you've experienced the worst trauma of your life and you are literally unpacking all of it on a day to day.
The last thing you want to do is sit in a courtroom in front of the person that did all of this and be scrutinized and people talking about you and not believing you because there's so much when it comes to being believed. Nobody wants to deal with that. What happens is later on in life, survivors will then come forward and prosecute. They don't typically do it right after the fact.
