Love is respect… respect yourself and respect others. Part of respecting yourself is to make time to take care of your emotional and physical well being. This includes time with family and friends, other than your significant other; eating properly and getting enough sleep; doing activities that put a smile on YOUR face.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, #SAAM. I recorded a short video to tell you about my survivor interviews. email me at regina@reginarowley.com to share your story or introduce me to a survivor in your life.
Sexual Assault is a social issue. One we can say #NoMore to and continue our campaign to bring awareness through education, empowerment and equipping others.
Being treated with respect is a basic human right, one ALL people deserve. When a perpetrator holds power over and controls someone else, it is disrespectful, unhealthy. Silence is no longer an option. We must speak out and stand up to enlighten and shift acceptable behaviors.
