Watch and listen to the 23 minute interview of Miss Van Derbur, former MIss America. After watching, name and list your feelings as you listened to her testimony. It might be, “confusion, disgust, etc.” Really think about how her story twists and turns and name your feelings as you listen. Then, write a reflection and personal reaction to this story. One of the most important takeaways I hope you glean from this video is the fact that sexual abuse knows no socioeconomic boundaries, no racial boundaries, no class boundaries, no geographical boundaries, and no familial boundaries. Aside from my contribution just delineated, what are your thoughts? How did this testimony resonate with you? Does this knowledge grow your frame of reference in regards to this topic? How will you now look at those you may work with in the future with this new lens?
