Hey Kings & Queens, it was such an honour to be asked to speak at the University of West England's Sexpression event where they held a 16 day campaign dedicated to raising awareness of domestic violence and abuse. As many of you know, I was in an abusive relationship only a few years ago and and I'm extremely passionate about raising awareness about the types of things that unfortunately many of us have experienced. I really hope in sharing my story it helps those of you being abused, to understand that it IS abuse and to ask for help, and those of you supporting someone you love through this type of trauma, you're able to help them through the process of finding their inner strength to leave.  you are not alone! I know it's so difficult, so draining and so isolating. but you are not alone, and there really is a way out.
