Our story
by Brisa De Angulo, founder
Before you read
This is a first-person account of childhood sexual violence. It describes grooming, physical violence, rape, self-harm, disordered eating, suicide attempts, and threats against my family. It also describes what came after — the healing, the fight for justice, and the organization all of it became.
If you or someone you know needs support, call RAINN at 1-800-656-HOPE, or visit our Get help page.
