Denisha is a lived experience consultant.
3 out of 4 women of African descent in the United States are victims of sexual assault, child molestation, and related crimes. Sadly, there is too little discussion about this horrific situation and even less about its long-term effect on the survivors and the communities from whence they come. Denisha uses her personal experience both as a survivor and an advocate for child women struggling with this harsh reality. Today, she struggles with Complex Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) as a result of her trauma, making her uniquely qualified to speak on these issues and the dysfunction they cause in so many of our communities.
Denisha's goal is to motivate other survivors of sexual assault to heal their pain by telling their stories and seeking counseling so they no longer feeling alone. She works to create networks of allies in the community around these issues and encourage them to help develop safe havens for survivors of trauma.
This is the first time I told my story in 2013 at Big Mama's Kitchen in Omaha, NE.
I believe it is time we speak as women and men of color. I conduct workshops, professional developments, and speeches on how organizations and multicultural communities can stop the disease of being "touched.
