Most are familiar with the trial of Dr. Larry Nasser and his abuse of women and girls in the US Olympic gymnast team etc, but even now women are still finding the strength to come forward and voice their stories of survival.

On her Instagram page, Olympic Gymnast Ashton Locklear used her public platform to join the ranks of survivors from Nassar's ugliness. See her incredibly brave post below..

    So many girls know the words you speak are their words and we share the same story of feelings of shame and fear. A disciplined life is therapy for a wounded soul. Take your heart and hurts and dreams and place them in the hands of your Creator! Joy and peace and victory is your prize!

    I am so sorry that you experienced that type of behavior. It is not your fault. He is the adult and knows better, the difference between right and wrong. You are starting the healing process from within. Native life has a lot to offer. Seek out yourself from your tribal elders and your higher power. Go back to the basics. You are brave and not alone. You are setting the tone for future Native girls. Be strong, first for you. Life is precious and a gift. This will make you stronger….stay focus. I will pray for you. I am so proud of you for continuing.
