When I speak at events for the Rise and Shine Movement to protect kids from sexual violations, I always have at least one
survivor approach me at the end. To share her heart. Her pain.
But I have others approach me too. They are the wives,
mothers, sisters, friends, relatives, daughters, of those who have been
sexually violated. And yes, they come to share their hearts. Their pain.
When perpetrators touch their victims or make their victims touch them, they don't just touch the victim; they touch those who
love the victim. Creating more victims. And those victims hurt.
That’s why Tamar’s Redemption
is expanding its mission. Together, we are going to address the issues of the
survivor and the issues of those who love the survivor.

Because sexual
violations ripple. Everyone that’s caught in its effect deserves to share their
heart. Their pain.
And everyone deserves to heal.
We heal best when we heal together. Please, come heal with
us—all of us.
