“You were BRILLIANT today. I was alternately nodding my head and taking notes furiously. You are so expert and so thoughtful, and I was just so grateful for your work and for your taking the time to educate those of us who can learn so much from you.
‘As advocates, we pushed for the idea of saying to survivors, 'you survived.' But we’ve gotten to a point where sometimes, we skip over the victimization, not wanting to recognize what happened. We need to hold space for both.’
I just think this is spot-on, and so are a hundred other things you said today.
So glad you are out there in the world. Hope to collaborate more in the future.”
