Brooke Nevils is an author, journalist and mom. Her book, Unspeakable Things: Silence, Shame and the Stories We Choose to Believe, is a vital examination of our most persistent and dangerous misunderstandings, myths and stereotypes about sexual harassment and assault. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, Unspeakable Things weaves her experience as one of MeToo’s defining stories with groundbreaking interviews of leading clinicians, forensic professionals, attorneys and frontline researchers to challenge our understanding of consent, power and the lingering, often misunderstood effects of trauma and shame. A graduate of the John Hopkins University, Brooke lives with her family in Maryland.
