Shut down by shame, it took decades for Madeleine Black to find her voice and be heard. Now Madeleine is the voice for the voiceless, speaking for those who aren’t yet able to find their voice and in doing so she encourages them to speak up. As the Courage Cultivator, Madeleine’s voice is her power and she believes it is her duty, her purpose, to use it on behalf of people to help shatter the silence. Madeleine uses her personal and moving story to shatter the shame, stigma and silence surrounding sexual violence. She shows 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.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“You can go through some awful, awful times but you can come out and you can thrive and you can live your life. I'm always amazed by people and what they're capable of. How we can just transform all of that pain into something positive.”
ABOUT MADELEINE
“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. Through her words, Madeleine hopes to help others find the courage to speak up, whatever their story in order to live their life fully.
