“I remember wishing they would kill me to make it all end.”
It takes courage to speak the unspeakable.
But for many years, Madeleine Black felt too afraid and too ashamed to utter a word of what happened to her.
Violently attacked at the age of thirteen, her story is one of pain – but also of healing, resilience and forgiveness.
Madeleine uses her personal and moving story to shatter the shame, stigma and silence surrounding sexual violence
And to show us that it’s not the events in our life that define us, but by how we choose to reclaim our lives after them.
How we become Unbroken.
Through her words, Madeleine hopes to help others find the courage to speak up, whatever their story in order to live their life fully
