An inspirational speaker and national spokesperson on sexual abuse and assault spent Wednesday morning on a local college campus raising awareness.

Nicole Bromley spoke at Eastern Mennonite University's Lehman Auditorium. She is the author of "Hush", a book about her experiences.

More than 100 students gathered to listen to the Ohio-native's story. Bromley says she has received a tremendous amount of feedback from all over the world.

"A lot of people have found their voice for the first time because of reading my book," Bromley said. "I get e-mails not only from America now, but I got a e-mails last week from Bolivia, Australia and the United Kingdom. It's amazing that there are places where I'll never be able to speak that my book is reaching."

Bromley says she was sexually assaulted for nearly a decade of her childhood.
