Donna Pollard is a child marriage survivor and bravely shared her story w/ @ZerlinaMaxwell & @jess_mc this morning in an effort to raise awareness on the issue.
FYI: Child marriage is still LEGAL in 46 (!!) states

Let’s talk about cycles... and how we have the power to break abusive cycles in our families by getting real about our traumas, ending the stigma of victimization, and embodying authentic healing.
For all of us determined to create social justice change who’ve been told, “you can’t”, “you’ll never” or “you won’t”...
With a glimmer in our eyes and courage in our hearts, let us simply rise and say, “watch me”. 🔥👊
It's finally time! #GivingTuesday is a day to celebrate joy - to give what we have to help change our local communities, and the world! Everyone has something to contribute. How are you giving back today?
In the past 24 hours alone, we have been contacted by courageous advocates in Zambia and Ethiopia asking for our partnership to help them end child marriage in their countries. You can support our efforts at survivorscorner.org/
Got dressed up today to talk about why Marsy's Law for Kentucky matters to Kentuckians. Vote YES on Amendment 1 this November!

You cannot judge your child self like you judge your adult self and what you could have, should have done.
You cannot judge your trauma activated self like you judge your non activated self and what you could have, should have done.
This past Saturday, we were joined by courageous and fierce survivors standing firm in their truth and call for justice at our It's Your Voice, Be Heard: Speaking Out for Justice Event. Watch below!

“Back to the year 1814 every single woman in my lineage was married before they turned 18. And some of the women, including my mother, were just 13 years old.” Donna Pollard @YourVoice_SC sharing the devastating impact of intergenerational trauma and #childmarriage
