🥂 Toast to 10 | It Takes a Village As we celeb 🥂 Toast to 10 | It Takes a Village

As we celebrate 10 years of Brave Step, we raise a heartfelt toast to two of our incredible early advisory board members who helped shape the very foundation of who we are today. Their wisdom, belief in the mission and quiet strength helped light the path forward.

But this moment is bigger than any one person.

From volunteers and thought leaders to donors and survivors, Brave Step exists because thousands of voices have carried it forward. You believed in the power of change. You showed up. You built something brave.

This toast is for every person who gave their time, heart and hope to make this mission possible.

Thank you for being part of our village. 💙

Behind the Brave 💬 Sexual violence doesn’t d Behind the Brave 💬

Sexual violence doesn’t discriminate, and for many male-identifying survivors, silence can feel like the only option.

But recovery is possible. It creates space for connection, truth and strength, and no one should have to walk that path alone.

Let this powerful truth from Matthew Sandusky, founder of @peacefulhearts_1  remind us: Every voice matters. Every step forward counts.

🗣 Voices of Change | @tylerperry 

Tyler Perry’s decision to share his experience as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse broke silences for countless men. His story challenged harmful myths, opened space for growth and reminded us all that masculinity and vulnerability are not opposites, they can coexist.

For many men, acknowledging trauma is complicated by shame, stigma or silence. But voices like Perry’s show that recovery is not only possible, it’s powerful.

To read more about his story and advocacy, visit: https://people.com/movies/tyler-perry-on-healing-after-childhood-sexual-abuse/.

To every person who identifies as a man who is carrying an untold story: you are not alone. Your voice matters. Your wellbeing matters.
