Sabrina Sivert
Hello my name is Sabrina! I began writing as a way to heal and later on decided to share my story. I am a survivor of childhood sexual assault. I will never forget how lonely and scared I felt and want to be able to help others not feel those feelings. I also work on passing sexual assault survivor bill of rights in many states across the United States. I will never understand why I went through what I did but apart of me believes that I made it out alive to advocate for those who can't.
