Being Public About Being Sexually Assaulted -- How do you find the BEST way for you to do it?
Having a blog for and about survivors of sexual violence can be complicated.
How do you know how much to share about your own personal life? How much do you keep private?
How do you encourage survivors to speak out, but also protect them at the same time?
Let's talk about how you know what and what not to share on line, to your friends, to reporters.
How do you decide if someone is trustworthy to share your life with?
If you decide to go to a newspaper with your abuse history, how do you find one that you feel comfortable with? Guess, the question really is -- how do you find a journalist who is worthy of telling your story to?

Would love to answer some of these but would be much more comfortable doing so in a format of survivors-only reading....
The Awareness Center has some self-help groups on line, but no one seems to be talking. That would be a good place to bring this up, but the groups have been quiet lately.

" the question really is -- how do you find a journalist who is worthy of telling your story to?"
Idea: It might be good to compile a list of journalists who *do* write on these issues, to post as an entry on this blog?
