Some stories really challenge how we think about justice, silence, and the courage it takes to finally speak your truth. Darlene Lekowski was sexually assaulted by her two oldest brothers. She kept that secret for decades, building a successful life while carrying the heavy weight of shame and unresolved trauma until she finally began to heal and reclaim her voice. She talks about what happens when those long-buried secrets come to light, and how healing can start when a survivor finally tells her story. Darlene is an author, speaker, and advocate, and she wrote Shattering Silence: A Story of Survival, Justice & the Power of Telling the Truth.
