A voice can begin to break it. Susan's story is not only about what happened to her—it's about what she chose to do with her story afterward. Through years of trauma, questions of faith, emotional healing, and the fight to be heard, Susan ultimately found purpose in helping bring awareness to clergy sexual abuse and encouraging other survivors to recognize the value of their own voices. Her message to survivors is simple but powerful: "You matter. You are invaluable." Healing does not require forgetting the past. Sometimes it means refusing to allow the past to have the final word. Your voice matters. Your story matters. And your voice may become the very thing that helps someone else find the courage to use theirs.
