Take Back The Night

So, I went to Seattle University’s Take Back The Night without really thinking much of it. I knew we would be fighting against sexual violence against women (and men), but I definitely didn’t think that I would be telling my story in front of a crowded room of very supportive fellow students and faculty.  

Even though most of what I did was cry on stage for a few minutes, I feel like something has changed within me — I feel empowered and inspired. Everyone that shared their stories were so brave, and I have so much respect for all of you. 

There is something fascinating about feeling an amazing level of comfort in a room of strangers who are all there to tell you that “everything is going to be OK and that you’re not alone.” 

Reaffirming my faith in humanity.
