Voices of Change From the outside, @darlenelekows Voices of Change From the outside, @darlenelekowski’s childhood looked picture-perfect - close-knit family, a safe neighborhood, full calendars and big dreams. But behind that image was a secret no child should ever have to carry. Beginning at the age of seven, Darlene endured sexual abuse by her two oldest brothers and years of silence enforced by fear and threats. Today, she is breaking that silence, on her own terms, by bravely sharing her story in a forthcoming memoir releasing April 2026. By choosing to speak, Darlene is reclaiming her voice and creating space for others to feel seen, believed and less alone. Her courage challenges the myths of what abuse “looks like” and reminds us that recovery and truth-telling are powerful forces for change. This is bravery. This is truth. This is a Voice of Change. Learn more about Darlene and her upcoming memoir: https://darlene-lekowski.com/book/ where you can also sign up for book updates.
