As a child, Haullie Free learned quickly the roots of silence and held tightly to her tounge for fear of shame, powerlessness and vulnerability to other potential abusers.

 

Haullie has gone on to use her abuse as a beacon for Survivors around the world. It began when she vowed never to "shut up" again. Learning that the power of one voice could shift the movement of many to speak out and save their lives. She has gone on to become the Founder and Producer of the CD 'Surviving The Truth' (http://surviving.alltheseyears.net), an Audio Documentary revealing the stories and aftermath thoughts of 15 other brave Survivors.

Past the shame and and on to a journey of choice and self-acceptance, tracking her very own growth from each day to the next. She has recently been on 'World Talk Radio' for 'Darkness To Light' hosted by Kathleen Brooks, Interviewed about her life and her involvement with the CD 'Surviving The Truth', and has campaigned against a high profile magazines and television shows that dipict gateway behaviors for sexual predators to draw upon their fantasies, to remove ads or shows that intentionally feed on the epidemic.

 

Recently, Haullie has joined together with Musicians from all over the United States to campaign through song on a compilation CD for Survivors called 'Mindful Lullabies' in which each song tells a story of Survival and hope on the other end of thriving. She believes that It's never too late for a new beginnng and that her abuse happened for a reason, to forshadow her true mission in life...to end the silence one voice at a time.
