“The memories from that room will haunt me for the rest of my life.”

Sexual abuse survivor turned advocate Eva Velasquez understands the trauma and complex emotions that survivors of sexual abuse experience as they attempt to navigate the world after abuse. By sharing her story, from childhood sexual abuse victim to pregnant high school drop out to CEO of a national victim services organization, Eva wants other survivors to realize they do not have to define themselves only by their abuse. With the support of her husband and three adult children, she continues to share her message of hope, inspiration and resilience.
