We Are HER - S3E8: Meet Alice (she/her)
play

12/07/21 • 56 min

After leaving her abuser’s home, Alice learned that anger, abuse, and control were not the relationship norm as she’d been raised to believe. After breaking away, she’s focused on school, making a life for herself, and becoming a safe space for her younger sibling. Alice shares how she’s navigating her sense of self at 19 and being allowed to follow her own dreams for the first time as a survivor living outside the control of an abusive caregiver.


After listening to her episode, Alice wanted to remind the audience that she doesn't speak for Hispanic culture as a whole, just her own experience as a Hispanic survivor.
