The Powerful Voices Project

I want to let people know about The Powerful Voices Project, an organization run by Becky Fein, whom I met locally several months ago. The mission of the Powerful Voices Project is “to educate, empower, and enhance the conversation around sexual assault and its survivors.” For the past few years, Becky has been filming short video profiles of victims of rape, abuse, molestation, intimate-partner violence, and other types of sexual assault, in a way that shows these survivors’ spirit, strength, and resiliency.

These videos are profound and moving, and I encourage you to visit the website and check them out. You’ll see women of various ages talking about their experiences, often focusing on their healing journeys and what supported them in their process.

Finding a voice and a way to communicate about one’s experience—whether through writing, creative arts, or by actually speaking out—and be witnessed, is incredibly empowering and, I believe, vital to the healing process. I think what Becky has created is remarkable and I applaud her efforts.
