On this day & every day, I stand against all forms of gender-based violence I will continue to use my voice to speak out and share my story of sexual violence to end the shame, stigma and silence and to help others find their courage and voice too #16daysofactivism #endgbv #metoo #NoExcuse

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

I started karate at 41 to help me face my fears that were mainly being around men & feeling out of control and to ground myself Fears, phobias & anxieties started after being gang raped at 13. Karate focused me This morning, 9 years late, I did my 2nd Dan grading #nomorefear #Unbroken #karate

My 2nd #TEDxtalk was called “Why I’m shaming shame” After being gang raped at 13 my shame was so crippling. It lied to me for years making me feel it was my fault I know now that 💯 of all rapes are caused by rapists and was never my fault #Unbroken #metoo #nomoreshame youtu.be/rqXluB4l1c8?...

Did my first #TEDxtalk in June 2019. Walking out to 3000 people was terrifying; but also one of the most liberating moments of my life!! I’m sharing my lived experience of gang rape, speaking for those who can’t find their voice yet #Unbroken #metoo #healing youtu.be/_ouhY155398?...
