Sexual violence can happen anywhere, to any gender, at any stage in our lives. NASA engineer Bryan Robles, opens up about his long journey as a survivor of sexual violence, speaking up publicly and the stigma of being a male survivor. He is truly brave and inspiring. It's a reminder that healing begins with vulnerability and that together, we can create a world where survivors are heard, supported, and empowered. And a world where our policies and practices in any big organization, NASA or WHO, must be shaped by the voices of survivors. Listen to the new #NoExcuse podcast episode: https://bit.ly/3UlbS20
