Brandy: It's not just our problem that this happens so frequently. Even in a one-on-one relationship, I mean, community sounds like a big word, right? But it's like, community is just you and another person. That is its own little community. You in a handful of people or you in an entire organization. And similarly, in my situation, this person was embedded in a community of people that he used to fish for potential victims that he could then cross boundaries with. Brandy: Every act of abuse is an assault on beauty. So I've learned to find the beauty that the abuser is seeking to assault and dismantle.
