Harvey Weinstein’s scandal did women a huge favour as I see it. On Sunday, Alyssa Milano asked people to reply #me too if they had been sexual assaulted. \u00a0This tweet started a movement that sparked over half a million tweet in that next 24 hours and continues to grow as people continue to #me too on Facebook and other sites.<\/p>\n

Here’s the thing… \u00a0I am not sure why this is giving voice to so many but IT IS! \u00a0For this I am so grateful. \u00a0As I see friends and family #me too, it hurts my heart and yet as someone that has been through this too, I know that there is such freedom and the start of healing as we shout out that this happened to #ME TOO!!! \u00a0I see so many age groups and feel so sad when I see young ones hash tagging ME TOO. \u00a0Is there a way to make it stop?<\/p>\n

\"Unknown\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You know as I saw and continue to see #me too with friends and family, I feel such pride in their strength. \u00a0It is huge to hash tag that you were hurt in such an ugly way. \u00a0It is sad that often then not it is by someone trusted or loved.<\/p>\n

It isn’t just Hollywood and those Weinstein was ugly with. It is such a common thing and I really hope this gives all of us, those that #me too and those that aren’t able too yet strength and a knowing that they are not allow.<\/p>\n

I saw a male #me too and felt such pride that he has the strength to stand up and say it! \u00a0I know there are so many men that can’t. \u00a0I know there are so many women that are not able to do that yet either. \u00a0I hope that they will dig deep and find that super strength to yell out #ME TOO because it is not your fault. \u00a0It is so freeing to say I was hurt. \u00a0I am angry. \u00a0I am confused. \u00a0I am furious!<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to share my new project. \u00a0It’s been life changing for me. \u00a0It’s along the same lines of #me too. More on this later…. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I am putting this out there. \u00a0If you have been hurt this way and need someone- I am here. \u00a0I am here so you can say #me too. \u00a0There is something powerful about breaking that silence. \u00a0You suddenly are not alone. \u00a0I love the TOO in the #me too. \u00a0You are not alone. \u00a0It’s sad, ridiculous and scary how many TOO represents. \u00a0I really believe that change is here. \u00a0I believe that victims are tired of being victims. \u00a0Being a victim suggests being \u00a0helplessness. \u00a0I was a victim for years. \u00a0Then… I realized that I am not helpless. \u00a0I am not going to stay a victim. \u00a0I am not staying a prisoner to that ugliness that was done to me. \u00a0I am a SURVIVOR! \u00a0I am in control of me and my life. \u00a0I am fighting hard. \u00a0I am proud of me. \u00a0I am proud of you and walk along side you as you hash tagged #me too.<\/p>\n
