Ms. Broussard is also an advocate for women’s rights as well as for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. She has lent her voice to this terrifying issue to bring awareness to a topic that has lurked in the shadows of society and caused immeasurable damage to countless people. Ms. Broussard joins her efforts with other survivors to dispel the myths surrounding childhood sexual abuse, encourage legislation that provides counseling and therapeutic services for victims, educates parents and caregivers to recognize the signs of sexual abuse, and that adequately punishes convicted offenders.

Ms. Broussard’s decision to chronicle her soul stains induced by years of undisclosed and unresolved childhood sexual abuse, resulted in her first novel, i-Comfortable Victim. She felt compelled to help others journey to their true selves by writing about her experience of learning to love herself and heal from deeply rooted scars.
Ms. Broussard’s passion for healing hurts caused by childhood sexual abuse, prompted her to create a non-profit organization called B'yond the Unveiling. The nonprofit will serve as a conduit for comprehensive “out of the box” treatment for survivors, convicted pedophiles, and those struggling with thoughts of committing sex crimes against children. It will aid in restoring survivors whose lives have been stifled and forever changed by childhood sexual abuse, promote sexual abuse education and early detection to identify at risk youth, provide legal assistance to survivors, and resources for young survivors to detour them from falling into prostitution, the sex trade, or drugs.

Ms. Broussard is always prepared to encourage others with her loving, straight forward, zero tolerance approach at conferences, gatherings, and churches to use disclosure and truth as the vehicle to obtain their liberty from the chains and soul stains of their childhood and challenging past experiences. Ms. Broussard is honored to be a member of the RAINN (Rape Abuse Incest National Network) Speaker’s Bureau, has been as guest speaker at events sponsored by M.A.C.E. (Ministers Against Child Exploitation), the Hays-Caldwell County Women’s Center in San Marcos, the University of Texas, other Texas organizations.

The confinements of life are bothersome and limiting, but writing enables me to expand in ways I can't do in real time. Character development is also a phenomenal aspect of writing; I love making my characters come to life and hear them breathe between the pages. But, by far the most satisfying aspect of writing is when people tell me they loved my book and were inspired to do more with their lives as a result of reading it. There is no greater compliment then helping people transcend from one stage of life to another and writing allows me to bridge those two worlds for some people. (less)

When I realized I was far more damaged than I cared to admit, I decided it was time to change. After a series of more victimizing events, I acknowledged I was a comfortable victim and wanted no more of it. I knew the first step would be to out my 10 years of undetected, undisclosed childhood sex abuse, but also knew I had to start writing immediately, no matter how painful it was. I wanted to educate, entertain, and enlighten with my first book and truly give my readers the opportunity to know who I was, at my core. Although writing was accompanied with countless tears, I enjoyed pouring my heart out with the hopes of helping someone like me. (less)
