What inspires your work on ending childhood sexual violence?
My work is inspired by survivors’ courage and my own lived experiences within communities affected by violence. Growing up in a single-parent household shaped my commitment to justice, protection, and dignity for children. I am driven to break cycles of harm and build safe, trauma-informed communities where every child can thrive.
Share one highlight from your experience in the SPROUT Fellowship
The Sprout Fellowship strengthened my leadership and systems-thinking skills while expanding a supportive network that has made collaboration easier and more effective. And through the Sprout seed funding, I am translating learning into action by implementing survivor-centred, community initiatives that challenge harmful norms and drive meaningful, visible change in my community.
