Project Unbreakable: how words of abuse can be used to heal

One day last October, while they were out walking, Grace Brown’s friend blurted out the story of her sexual abuse. It wasn’t the first time someone had shared such a secret with her, and, after sleeping on it, she decided to photograph her friend with a poster on which a quote from their attacker had been written. “I just thought: ‘I’ll post this on the internet and maybe more people will see it,’” she says. A week later, feminist authorJessica Valenti reblogged it and exposed the project to a new audience.
