whythis exsists?
A note from our Founder
I started The Unsaid Project because of the people I know. So many of them have a story like this. Most have never said it out loud. Some have carried it for decades, quietly, while living full lives around it.
This project is personal. I'm a survivor of sexual assault. It happened when I was in high school, and I kept it locked away for years. I'm speaking about it for the first time, right here, right now. If I can say it, so can you. And when you're ready, someone will be listening.
I didn't want to build something that asks anyone to stand on a stage or say their name. I wanted a place where people could finally say it, safely, from wherever they are, and know that someone would listen. And a place where the rest of us could show up, and be a support system for all those impacted by sexual assault.
If you've never told anyone, this is for you. Whenever you're ready.
— Jessica, Founder
