If you got this far, I would like to ask you to read this post in its entirety. It’s important. It will make an impact on you. Your participation (even if only to watch the series) will change the lives of affected women. It can change your life too. Thanks to Deborah Kagan (author/speaker/creator of the Rock Your Mojo™ programs… and my friend!) for sharing this with me so that I can share it with you. Why is this important to me? I have been a victim of sexual assault. I am no longer a victim. I watch out for others and I try to help when I can, where I can. And this is one way!
At 15, She Was Raped. Today She Helps Women Take Back Their Power.
Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Rape happen.
….and so does healing and transformation. Deborah Kagan hosts TAKE A STAND, the online interview series that changes the conversation for women who have experienced domestic violence, sexual abuse or rape. It is for women who have yet to find a way to rise above the shame, fear or shackles of the
experience. The twenty-two interviews, airing one each weekday in October (Domestic Violence Awareness Month), focus on how to create success in life, personally and professionally, by transcending the past.
Carl Jung said, “It is not what has happened to me. It is what I choose to become.”
One in three women and one in seven men in the U.S experience domestic violence, sexual assault or rape.
Worldwide, it’s seventy percent of women. That’s unacceptable.
Deborah Kagan, author/speaker/creator of the Rock Your Mojo™ programs, is determined to change the conversation for survivors of DV, SA and rape. The online interview series, Take A Stand, is the opportunity for women to powerfully shift who they are.
The secrets and shame women hide become the insidious and often hard to uncover blocks on the path to success. Through the conversations in these interviews, women find the power within to leave the past in the past and build an empowering future.
100% of the proceeds from Take A Stand, in perpetuity, go to the VDAY Organization dedicated to ending violence to women and girls worldwide.
The Kickstarter campaign supports the series production costs.
Esther Miller, one of the interviewees says, “It is really powerful when you align yourself with a community that is going to support you because, I really believe this, abuse happens in isolation. Healing happens in community.”

Stand with these women and show them you support their cause. This is about women’s health, lives and souls. Show them you hear them….. even if you can only give $5. It’s meaningful to see people care because the next woman assaulted could be someone you know.
