It’s your voice. Be heard... Survivors’ Corner provides support to those seeking to share their truth and speak out against sexual exploitation and abuse.
Donna Pollard is a child marriage survivor and bravely shared her story w/ @ZerlinaMaxwell & @jess_mc this morning in an effort to raise awareness on the issue.
FYI: Child marriage is still LEGAL in 46 (!!) states

Let’s talk about cycles... and how we have the power to break abusive cycles in our families by getting real about our traumas, ending the stigma of victimization, and embodying authentic healing.
For all of us determined to create social justice change who’ve been told, ��you can’t”, “you’ll never” or “you won’t”...
With a glimmer in our eyes and courage in our hearts, let us simply rise and say, “watch me”. 🔥👊
It's finally time! #GivingTuesday is a day to celebrate joy - to give what we have to help change our local communities, and the world! Everyone has something to contribute. How are you giving back today?

You cannot judge your child self like you judge your adult self and what you could have, should have done.
You cannot judge your trauma activated self like you judge your non activated self and what you could have, should have done.
