For many years I wasn’t ready to talk about my experiences or make peace with being sexually assaulted , due to the shame and stigma that was surrounded by it . Knowing I’d be asked what I was wearing ... how was I acting ... it’s a shame that when a person is a victim of sexual assault we treat them like they are they guilty ones . It took me years to realize that it wasn’t my fault . Today is an important day for many survivors of #sexualassult . Today is the day we all stand together in solidarity for our stories and experiences and others . We stand up to those who have sexual assaulted others ... Thank you @_ms_white & @darby.iii for having me be a part of the #denimobsession shoot . I was a true honour to stand with all of you . I look at this picture and realize that I made peace with it and I’ll no longer be a victim... i will continue to thrive and survive! . . . . . . . . #sexualassult #denimday #denimday2019 #denimobsession #sexualassultawareness #therealsvetlana #mtlinfluencer #canadianinfluencer #mtlinfluencers #mtlbloggers #canadianbloggers #russianinfluencer #standupforyourself #april24th #instagood #instamood #pictureoftheday (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwpkoykA8nt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14uvec9boczoi
