This week, we take a deeper look at why "The Mend" is such a special project to host, Anna Nasset. As a victim of stalking for years, she has worked relentlessly to change her role from victim to survivor. Though her journey hasn't been easy, her story is one that will resonant for years to come. A few words from Anna, "I used to have a voice, and I'm finding it again. It’s different than before. But it’s strong and getting stronger. I’m no longer living in the dark, and that is the best step I have taken in years. Yes, I am strong. I have survived. And I am slowly learning how to stand tall. It is because of my service providers, friends and community that I am here today."
