She raises awareness and funds. She has worn sneakers with RAINN’s hotline number and auctioned them off. She had a game Wednesday in Chicago, scored another 30, but missed the ESPY’s live. She saw a replay of the the riveting moments when those abused by Larry Nassar, more than 140 women, rose together to receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. Amid the horror, there was great bravery and hope. Stewart nodded her head in unity with her survivor sisters. “All those gymnasts came together in spite of Larry Nassar to represent women as a whole and people who have gone through that sort of abuse,” Stewart said. “They are using their strength to show it is a subject people aren’t afraid to talk about and something a lot of people need to deal with. “I definitely have grown and matured. Even being able to talk about. I’m trying to be the best I can be on the basketball court, but also how can my life experience help other people who are going through similar experience? Kids right now are in the same position I was. It’s unfortunate. It does still happen.” [/QUOTE]
