What inspires your work on ending childhood sexual violence?
I am inspired by the reality that many children experience harm without the language or support to speak about it. My work focuses on making information accessible and building safe spaces where children are informed, heard, and protected, so silence does not become the system that fails them.
Share one highlight from your experience in the SPROUT Fellowship
My Highlight was the Sprout Retreat we went on. It was very inspiring for me to be part of a space that also focused on my own wellbeing and development in a space that often asks of me more than it gives. It was nice to be cared for!
