Investing in the Future: Supporting Survivors & Building Change
“Justice demands integrity. It’s to have a moral universe — not only know what is right or wrong but to put things in perspective, weigh things. Justice is different from violence and retribution; it requires complex accounting.”
Investing in the Future: Supporting Survivors & Building Change
Why I’m Sharing This
I’ve spent years advocating for survivors of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault—because I know firsthand how hard it is to rebuild when the systems in place don’t work for you. That’s why I’m in law school: to become the advocate I needed, to push for change where it matters, and to make sure survivors aren’t left to navigate the impossible alone.
Right now, I’m at a turning point. After leaving both an unsafe marriage and an unstable family situation, I’m rebuilding my life from the ground up—securing stable housing, balancing law school and work, and staying focused on the long-term goal of making real change. It’s a lot, but I’ve never shied away from hard things.
This is where community comes in.
I’m not asking for charity—I’m offering people the chance to support something real: a survivor getting back on their feet, staying in school, and continuing to fight for others in the same position. If you’ve ever believed in my work, my advocacy, or just me as a person, this is a way to be part of my journey forward.

“For too long the term domestic violence has been used as a “soft” term which suggests it emerges in an intimate context that is private and somehow less threatening, less brutal, than the violence
that takes place outside the home. This is not so, since more women are beaten and murdered in the home than on the outside.”
