Brooke is an Austin-based writer, activist, and performance artist who says she was trafficked by her nanny when she was younger and then as an adult, entered an abusive relationship with a man who threatened to kill her.

“Authentic love does not devalue another human being,” Brooke said during her speech. “Authentic love does not silence shame and abuse.”
