Welcome

I'm Colleen — founder of SSTA AWARE, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to awareness, education, and resources around sibling sexual trauma and abuse, and a national advocate with Brave Movement USA, which works to end childhood sexual violence through survivor-centered policy change.

My work lives at the intersection of personal story and systemic change. I believe survivors deserve more than acknowledgment — they deserve policy, resources, and a world that finally takes this seriously.

Here you'll find essays, updates, and dispatches from the frontlines of this movement — written for survivors, advocates, educators, and anyone ready to show up for this work.

Because silence has had its turn. It's time for something else.
