Spending years minimizing her trauma because she didn't think what she had experienced was as big as the stories on the news she realized she now had the power to normalize topics that people are too prideful or shameful to discuss. without walls Charissa  is joining us today to talk about the skeletons that are buried deep in so many dorm room closets.According to Rainn.org Sexual violence on campus is pervasive.
