Pillar of strength: Judo champion finds healing, tough love→

Thank you Kayla Harrison - Olympic & World Champion
“Four years ago today this article was published… where I spoke publicly about my past for the first time. I can’t tell you how nervous and anxious I was about this. I cried for the entire interview and my hands shook for hours afterwards, but I also felt lighter after leaving that room. And for the first time, I felt as if maybe I had a purpose, and it wasn’t just throwing people.
The response to this article was overwhelmingly positive and supportive and I can not thank you enough for that. Your love and support have made me a stronger, better person.
I am forever grateful to those who stood by me in my darkest hours. You know who you are and you have my eternal love and loyalty.
