That's an interesting question. I think it's by doing what I'm doing exactly at this moment: relearning that I know my story, relearning that I know my truth and that I know what I went through, and speaking out about it for the young girls and young children who are still in the court system and cannot speak out.
Now that I'm 18, I think it's important to do that locally in my community. At my school, I did this, and now I have the opportunity, which I'm incredibly grateful for, to do it on a much larger scale. That has definitely helped me a lot in terms of controlling my life.
