Jess Ruzz - Founder, The Word for This

What is The Word for This?

The Word for This is a space for survivors of sexual violence to share their experiences, engage in creative healing, and promote support, awareness, and prevention:

  • Our Stories – Making our voices heard through written accounts of our experiences with assault, abuse, harassment, and other forms of sexual violence.

  • #TWFT52 – A year-long creative healing exploration, with weekly writing prompts to engage our community in expressing and exploring our recovery.

  • A Word from Jess – Thoughtful discussion of issues related to the #MeToo movement, survivor resources, and intersectional advocacy.   

Because yes, you too. Because we believe you. Because reporting is reclaiming. Share your story. Your voice deserves to be heard.
