🔊 Voices of Change: Sydney

For the past 2.5 years, Sydney, a dedicated volunteer and student at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has been using her voice and leadership to strengthen Brave Step’s mission. As a valued member of our Volunteer Leadership Council, Sydney pours her time, energy and passion into helping prevent future sexual violence and supporting those impacted. 💙

Sydney reminds us that being a Voice of Change doesn’t always mean standing on a stage. It can mean showing up, speaking out and using your gifts to make a difference.

Sexual violence doesn’t happen in isolation and neither does prevention. Every time we talk openly, challenge harmful myths or stand with survivors, we shift our culture toward safety and respect.

Your brave voice matters. Together, we can create communities where survivors are supported, and future harm is prevented.

For survivors everywhere. There are a lot of us. 💙

Sexual violence isn’t always what you see in the movies. It can be a touch, a comment or coercion, often by someone trusted. Every experience matters, and every survivor deserves support, understanding and a path to wellness.

You are not alone, and together, we can break the silence.

🍾 A Toast to 10!

This photo reminds us of a simple truth: it takes a village. 💜 Brave Step’s journey has always been powered by passionate volunteers, dedicated leaders and a community that believes in supporting those impacted by sexual violence.

Every event, every milestone, every step forward has been possible because people came together, offering their time, talent and heart.

As we celebrate 10 years, we raise a glass to the incredible village that has carried us here and will continue to guide us into the future.
