This week we talk to Charles Russell, a sexual assault survivor who first shared his story with us back in April in a blog for Denim Day. Our conversation delves a bit deeper into the assault and the healing journey Charles has taken to become the man he is today. Rebecca, also a survivor, and Charles stumble upon many similarities they share as survivors although the circumstances of their experiences are very different. This episode is a refreshing real conversation about a tough topic. We also must advise that this episode may be a trigger for survivors.

Today Charles is happy and healthy and has found his strength in sharing his story Charles considers himself and advocate and an ally. He is in a supportive relationship with his partner and loves to spend time with his daughters.
