My name is JoLynn, and I am a survivor of sexual violence. From the age of 6 until I disclosed at age 12, I was repeatedly abused by my paternal grandfather. I have lost count of the number of times I have encountered catcalls, groping, and other forms of street harassment.
Unfortunately, my story is not unique. I know there are probably millions more like me. I am now an advocate, giving voice to those who have lost theirs. My solace has been in journaling, and I bring that to the survivors I work with. I want to offer this to others with this blog. Each week I will add a journaling prompt and my response. I will also be periodically adding resources, coping strategies, and book/documentary reviews.
You can write your own response to the prompt and keep it to yourself or share it in the comments. Or you can just reflect without writing. It's up to you.
I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me! 💗💗💗💗
