“I really liked She’s No Longer Silent. It felt so poignant and personal, and I truly could, not only emphasize, but identify myself in some of the stories. Sometimes I underestimate the power of my own voice and this book reminded me how important it is to speak up to overcome some situations and, what I think is more important, help others to do so during and after the healing process. Because you’re helping yourself when you talk, but you’re also helping people around you. It’s important to remember, always, that you are not alone. These brave and inspiring women learned to turn darkness into light, and found their own voices in the process ins ays hard to expect after the circumstances they went through. The fact that they were capable of moving on, encourages everything that has suffered the unthinkable to raise their voices and turn what was done to them into positive actions. It was really inspiring to get to know these women at this level, and when I finished this book I though of the importance of focusing on the positive things you can do instead of the negative things that had been done to you, of taking the damage and turn it into healing words for others. It helps you remember to take the bad of the world so the good can shine brighter. This is a book that encourages us to think about ourselves and our mental health. That reminds us not to let people around us determine our value and to identify when a relationship is harming, toxic and wrong. It’s a book that made me remember it’s only human to make mistakes and doubt ourselves because of it, but it’s not ok to stay like that. It reminded me that being brave, strong and grateful never gets old. Self-care is never a cliché. A helpful, inspiring and educational book that every women talking out of rage, resentment or sadness, but from their success and victory over pain.” – ig: @sonia.reads
