Speaking

EMILY JACOB
Founder
ReConnected Life

WE NEED A PARADIGM SHIFT IN HOW WE SUPPORT SURVIVORS TO RECOVER FROM RAPE AND LIVE A FULL, RECONNECTED, LIFE AGAIN.

It’s my mission to break the silence, and speak for the silenced. If you’d like me to speak at your event I’d be delighted to support you in amplifying the conversation.

Topics I speak on:

  • Revolutionising how we support survivors to recover from rape; how to build a ReConnected Life
  • Silence Hurts; the importance of challenging the rape myths and shifting societal beliefs about rape
  • My story, an inspirational journey from the depths of the abyss to today
