Theresa: Seventeen Years of Silence—and the Voice That Emerged
I Need Blue
Theresa’s courage proves that even after 17 years of silence, a voice can rise stronger than the violence that tried to silence it.
When Teresa heard glass shatter that March morning in 2007, her life changed forever. She survived a horrific sexual assault in her own home, and though her attacker was never caught, her story is defined by resilience, not violence.
Alert and courageous during the attack, Teresa later reclaimed her life through faith, therapy, supportive friends, and artistic expression. Now, she shares her journey to empower others to speak, heal, and move forward with God guiding them.
