Voices of Change 💬💙 Recently, a powerful gr Voices of Change 💬💙

Recently, a powerful group of Brave Step volunteers came together, not just to give their time but to open their hearts.

Led by the incomparable @jen_c_band, the session focused on sharing in community, showing up with vulnerability and building authentic connection. These moments remind us that real change starts with us ... when we listen, when we support and when we bravely show up for one another.

To every volunteer who leaned in: thank you for being part of this movement. Your courage to be seen and to see others makes all the difference.💙

This week’s brave thing:
Swap “Why didn’t you...?” with “That must’ve been hard. I’m here.”

When someone shares their story, curiosity can accidentally sound like doubt. Survivors don’t need to be questioned. They need to be believed.

This simple shift in language is powerful. It builds trust, reduces shame and shows up as love in action.

Over the past decade, we’ve had the incredible privilege of partnering with organizations that share our heart for wellbeing and impact — like the amazing team at @playing4others.

This moment from 2016 reminds us that our mission has never been a solo act. It’s been fueled by collaboration, compassion and community. Together, we’re building a stronger support system for those impacted by sexual violence.

To every partner who’s walked beside us, thank you. Here’s to the next 10 years of bold, brave work. 🥂
