🥂 Toast to 10 | Flashback to 2017 In 2017, Bra 🥂 Toast to 10 | Flashback to 2017

In 2017, Brave Step joined reporter @s.gracedelia and @wfae for the powerful "She Says" series, a year-long investigation into the case of “Linda,” a Charlotte-area woman who was sexually assaulted by a stranger and was searching for answers.

Brave Step was honored to contribute advocacy insight to this award-winning series, which shed light on the deeply personal, often frustrating realities survivors face when navigating systems meant to protect them.

"She Says" reminds us that justice isn’t always swift, and recovery is rarely linear.

Voices of Change: Anne Beiler, Founder of @auntiea Voices of Change: Anne Beiler, Founder of @auntieannespretzels

From building a pretzel empire to sharing the truth behind her success, Anne Beiler is using her voice to break the silence around sexual abuse.

In a powerful act of courage, Anne recently opened up about the childhood sexual abuse she endured, shedding light on the hidden pain that shaped her journey and ultimately inspired her purpose. Her story is a reminder that survivors walk among us in every space, even in the most unexpected places.

At Brave Step, we honor Anne’s bravery and her commitment to helping others grow. Her voice is changing lives.

✨ Survivors are everywhere, and when they speak, the world changes.
