April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Author and motivational speaker Shari Alyse is a sexual abuse survivor and took a witness stand at age 7 to testify against her abuser.
She joined us on Good Day Rochester to share her story of coming forward at such a young age, at a time long before the #MeToo movement. She also shared her advice for other survivors on how they can thrive after experiencing trauma.
Shari Alyse also has a book called Love Yourself Happy: A Journey Back to You, offering hope through self-love.
