Lavinia Masters is an entrepreneur, loving wife, sexual assault survivor and victims advocate... as well as a Public Speaker for RAINN, Friends of the Family Denton County and the Dallas Police Department SEACAP (Sexual Assault Cold Case Program) initiative. As a victim of sexual assault at the age of 13, her life went through a lot of psychological, emotional, and physical changes. My world was shattered and my trust in man was gone. My healing and survival from sexual assault has come full circle by the grace of God. For more than 20 years I held my breath as I thought I would never find total closure after sexual assault. Follow me as I take you through my journey of mental, emotional and psychological changes that I endured after my assault and how my faith kept me grounded and led to the healing and solving of my sexual assault case over 20 years later and has finally allowed me to breathe again.
