Katie's testimonial underscores the sinister ways that workplace toxicity affects all aspects of life. She emphasizes the feelings of powerlessness she felt in the wake of a traumatizing assault she suffered on a work trip. She was silenced and even told by a colleague that “everybody has dark secrets.” Katie highlights, however, that having the ability to pursue justice and tell the truth has given her back her voice and changed her life. “More women need to be aware of this law and what their rights are… Getting into that courtroom was everything to me. Every minute of it hurt… but it was the most important thing I’ve ever done,” she says.
