Fearlessness, a word that The Joyful Heart Foundation uses as one of its empowering logo's, an adjective, that when spoken, and applied becomes the purest definition of empowerment that exists in a Survivor's vocabulary. Fearlessness embodies the sense of taking back one's soul and finding the courage and strength within to continue to move forward in the face of horrific adversity.
JHF has a positive spin on a depraved and untimately tragic subject. How can anyone incorporate such words as joyful in the midst of such degradation? The explaination is simplistic and even trite, yet it is a founded truth. Experiences do not define who we are, we define the experiences. Although we did not have a choice when we were assaulted. We have the choice now! We can choose to overcome, we can choose to heal, we can choose to build something good from the horror's we've endured. We have the power to choose, JHF, promotes possibilties, for survivors these are endless. There's so much good that we can choose to fight for. Justice, healing, speaking out, all these are avenues that survivors can travel proudly, choosing to take their lives back into their own hands. Which road will you choose?
