Aly took an experience that leaves so many feeling so powerless, and used it to empower others to speak out, too.
“Everyone in the world is going through something, or at least knows what it feels like to be battling something. We should all be there for each other, be supportive and try to help each other as much as we can.”
Aly’s bravery in sharing her story of sexual abuse led her to speak publicly in court and write her book Fierce: How Competing for Myself Changed Everything. Aly is also a strong advocate for Darkness To Light, a non-profit committed to empowering adults to prevent child sexual abuse.
Today, Aly is passionate about mindfulness, and knows that you have to find peace with yourself before you can reach out and help others.

“If I want to keep making change, I have to take care of myself. If I’m not taking care of myself, I’m not going to have the energy or the strength to continue to speak out.”
