In this powerful episode, Paula, founder of Unjustly Served Foundation, speaks at the American Legion Tennessee State Convention about one of the most urgent issues affecting our military and veteran communities—Military Sexual Trauma (MST).

Through truth, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to survivors, Paula shares the realities of MST, the long-term impact it has on service members and veterans, and why awareness, accountability, and action are critical.

She also highlights how the American Legion’s Be The One initiative aligns with the mission of Unjustly Served Foundation—creating a culture where survivors feel safe enough to speak, seek support, and find justice.

This conversation is more than awareness. It is a call to action.

Silence protects systems. People protect people.

Together, we can create lasting change by standing beside survivors, breaking stigma, and refusing to look away.
