‘It’s important to have sexual assault awareness because it gives people the truth and reality of what many men and women suffer through. It allows people to see the ugly truth behind what many people do behind closed doors, especially the people you least expect.

I will wear denim honoring all the people who are survivors of sexual assault, violence and toxic relationships. I will wear it as a silent assurance that I am an ally and that I can be a person to rely on when they feel they have no one.’
