What we're about.

Here at ~StrengthSpeaks I, =EverybodyLookAtMe, and Mena, ~openwound88, hope to provide a community that serves as a support system for those who have been sexually abused, raped, physically abused, or know people who have dealt with such things. Both of us are survivors of abuse or rape, and we know how important it is to talk even though that can be the hardest part. We want this to be a safe place to get things off your chest, and provide inspiration for others in the same situation. We want to encourage everyone to speak.
