Dez Ramirez is one of our proud Team 3 survivors and shares a comment regarding her experience with Sunlight: 

Yes, I would recommend it because it connected me to all walks of life. Many on different stages of their healing journeys of all ages. This allowed me to have grace over myself and find a safe space I can connect, share, laugh, love and seek support from women who get it.

A business owner, a wife, a survivor. As a social influencer, Dez utilizes her Instagram platform to stand up for justice and advocate for prevention. Earlier this year, Dez Ramirez even helped to pass a bill by sharing her testimony. Back in April 2019, Ramirez shares:

 I will never be ashamed of my story. Instead I have been transformed by it. We all have this ability to embrace our vulnerability and OWN our #Becoming stories. This year I made a vow to myself that I would fully commit to those who are in need and need liberation from sexual trauma and bondage. This vow has been trivial in many ways. I am only 2 years into my own recovery journey from my own sexual trauma and at times .... YES.... I do think I am in way over my head and perhaps maybe even ill prepared for this journey. But then I remember those who advocated for me when I had no one.

Dez is known for opening up "Self-Love" workshops and spaces where she both honors and encourages survivors wherever they may be in their journeys.
