The TRUTH Key Project

for young women and girls.

While writing this book,

a beautiful and brilliant friend lost her battle with Silence-ism

when she took her own life.

My hope is that by helping others break the chains of silence

that our secrets keep us bound within,

we might help a few souls hang on

for the day when they can feel free to make the choice to live,

by becoming free

of the weight of the secrets

and the silence.

“To be the victim of sexual assault is to fall down a rabbit hole into a reality shaped by collective delusion: specifically, the delusion that powerful or popular or ordinary-seeming men who do good work in the world cannot also be abusers or predators. To suggest otherwise is to appear insane. You question yourself. Even before anyone calls you a liar — which they will — you’re wondering if you’ve overreacted. Surely he couldn’t be like that. Not him. Anyway, it would be insanity to go against someone with so much clout. The girls who do that are sick in the head. At least, that was what we used to think.”
