Voice of a Survivor - Jennifer Nadler (Sexual Abuse Survivor Speaker)
Jennifer Nadler is a gifted public speaker who will recount her two years of abuse by a male family member, which led her to carry around a so-called “suitcase full of guilt and shame.” “Each survivor has his or her way of dealing with the trauma and emotional pain of sexual abuse,” she explains. “For me, it was drinking and binge eating, among several other destructive behaviors that got me through my darkest of days.”
As part of the healing process, which has spanned more than 25 years, Nadler has put together an award-winning multimedia presentation. It has not only kept Nadler in the spotlight, but also earned her a raft of honors, including the 2015 Visionary Voice Award, sponsored by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, in conjunction with Sexual Assault Awareness Month; the 2015 “Makers: Women Who Make America” award from WCNY; and a 2014 Award of Appreciation from Vera House.
