1 in 3 Women, Let's Talk About It
1 in 3 women experience sexual abuse, that's what Dr. Donna Lyon told me in this conversation. (congrats on the shiny new PhD Doc)
Donna and I met recently and in some ways we both felt at times like we were sitting in front of a mirror. Hearing our story relayed to us as someone else told it as their own, in a way. So very similar, so very different.
