🕊️ April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month 🕊️
At Grace and Mercy Establishment, we are survivor-founded and survivor-strong.
This month, we honor every voice, every story, and every person who has survived the unimaginable.

💬 To every survivor:
You are not what happened to you.
You are powerful. You are worthy. You are not alone.

We are here—for healing, for hope, and for a future where no one walks this path in silence. 💙

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

As the Founder and Executive Director of Grace and Mercy Establishment in Gastonia, NC, I speak not only as a leader—but as a survivor.

I am a survivor of childhood molestation. And while the pain of that trauma remains a part of my story, so does the strength it built in me. Every day, I choose healing. I choose to speak up—not just for myself, but for those who still suffer in silence.

At Grace and Mercy, we stand with survivors. Our mission is personal. We believe in the power of healing, in the necessity of being heard, and in the truth that no one should walk this journey alone.

To every survivor:
✨ You are not what happened to you.
✨ You are worthy of love, peace, and joy.
✨ Your voice matters. You matter.

This month—and every month—we are committed to breaking the silence, ending the stigma, and building a world where survivors are supported, believed, and empowered.

Exciting Update from Grace and Mercy Establishment
We are delighted to announce that Grace and Mercy Establishment has relocated our offices to the same building as my selfie museum. This move offers several advantages as both enterprises will now share the building but occupy separate areas. Furthermore, we are now able to assist clients with disabilities. If you or anyone you know needs support regarding sexual assault, please don't hesitate to contact us. We welcome new clients!
