See. Read. Change. Meet six other Voices and Faces Project partners whose words are creating change.

Christa Desir: Channeling her inner 16-year-old boy. Brilliantly.
An alumna of "The Stories We Tell," our Voices and Faces Project Testimonial Writing Workshop, Christa Desir is passionate about the power of words. "FaultLine" (Simon Pulse), her forthcoming Young Adult novel about rape in a suburban high school, was conceived during our very first Voices and Faces writing workshop. Whip-smart and written in the voice of a teenage boy – yes, she pulls it off! - "FaultLine" will be published in the fall of 2013. Read more about Christa’s forthcoming book here and here

Eliaichi Kimaro: Crossing the globe to confront a painful history.
What happens when a woman goes in search of her identity and discovers that the cycle of violence she's been working to break in the US is part of her history and culture on another continent? Voices and Faces Project ally Eliaichi Kimaro's new film, "A Lot Like You," raises important questions about the cultures we inherit and the things we choose to pass down. We love Eli’s willingness to ask hard questions of the world, and of herself. Watch the PBS debut of "A Lot Like You".

Jody Raphael: Telling the truth (even when it hurts).
In "Rape Is Rape: How Denial, Distortion, and Victim Blaming Are Fueling a Hidden Acquaintance Rape Crisis" (Lawrence Hill Books), longtime Voices and Faces Project collaborator Jody Raphael takes on right wing ideologues who push the idea of false rape claims as female revenge, feminists who say that rape is being confused with "bad sex," police who fail to test rape kits, and rape victim advocates who use poorly sourced statistics. In other words, Jody's not afraid to challenge all of us to do better. And that’s just one of the reasons we admire her so much. Read the Publisher's Weekly review of Jody's forthcoming book.

Charlotte Pierce-Baker: Breaking the silence, one story at a time.
"Surviving the Silence: Black Women's Stories of Rape" (W.W. Norton) was written by Charlotte Pierce-Baker, a founding member of The Voices and Faces Project. At once deeply personal and insistently political, Charlotte's book addresses race, class and the unique challenges women of color face when confronting sexual violence. Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison has called Charlotte’s book "demand reading." We couldn’t agree more. Find out more about Charlotte’s newest project, "This Fragile Life".

Kate Hnida: Still first, and still fearless.
Kate Hnida - the first woman to play Division I football – is a founding member of The Voices and Faces Project. Her painful yet deeply hopeful memoir, "Still Kicking" (Simon and Schuster), recalls her achievements on the field and her experience with sexual violence off it. "I wrote this book for the same reason that I am a part of The Voices and Faces Project - because I want survivors to see that despite what we have gone through, we can still be unstoppable," says Kate. Watch Kate talk about "Still Kicking" in a Today Show interview with Meredith Viera.

Roger Canaff: This is what a feminist looks like (really).
A former New York sex crimes prosecutor and a member of our CounterQuo Project, Roger Canaff blogs on the tough stuff: what causes men to rape, how the culture of sport encourages violence against women, and why challenging the status quo isn’t just an option – it’s a moral obligation. Check out Roger’s blog.
