I would definitely encourage other survivors to come forward. I think that coming forward is safer than ever, but there still is an incredibly long way to go to come forward and to feel completely safe. There are coalitions. There are scholars. There are a bunch of sports that have these coalitions to work together to bring out stories. I think the time is now. It's every little piece.... I don't know if today I'll make a difference or my testimony will make a difference, but you can't give up on something you love. I love gymnastics. It's been a part of my entire life. I hope this moves it forward in even the slightest way.
