Nicole Braddock Bromley
This past Monday or Wednesday (I can’t remember which one), Nicole Braddock Bromley came to speak to Covenant during Chapel. I’d have to say that it was one of the most heart-breaking and heart-wrenching stories that I’ve heard in a really long time. Nicole’s story is one of sexual abuse, and she openly shares her testimony in the hopes and dreams that she can help other people who suffer silently through sexual abuse. In her words, “I believe that sexual abuse is the best kept secret in our nation today.”
Nicole speaks from the heart of one who has learned to thrive, no matter the circumstances. Having been viewed as the “perfect girl” all her life, excelling as an athlete, scholar, artist, and class leader, she appeared to have it all. But at the age of 14, she realized her entire childhood had been ravaged by the torment of sexual abuse. Nicole tells her story in an effort to educate and raise awareness about this trauma, and to offer hope and strength to others, by sharing her own journey from victim to Victory Over Impossible CircumstancE. She communicates the overwhelming effect sexual abuse can have on a life, but empowers students and adults to work together to overcome this issue, working toward healthy relationships, decisions, and adulthood.
