Speaking Up For Yourself IS Speaking up for Others featuring Ten Smith

This week on Is Anybody Out There?, we’re joined by Ten Smith, who bravely shares both her story and her music. Ten opens up about the abuse she endured and the difficult realization that staying silent about her experience may have contributed to another woman nearly losing her life. It was a powerful news story within the music business that ultimately changed everything for Ten and inspired her to use her music as a voice—not just for herself, but for others who may be suffering (in silence or otherwise). Her story is a powerful reminder that speaking up can save lives, and that sometimes our pain can become a source of strength and hope for someone else, figuratively AND literally. Tune in this week to hear Ten’s story, experience her music, and learn why she decided that silence was no longer an option.
