Abrianna Morales, a seventeen-year-old student from Las Cruces, New Mexico, is a sexual assault survivor, activist, and advocate for sexual assault survivors’ rights and empowerment. After being sexually assaulted at age fifteen, Abrianna was inspired to create the Sexual Assault Youth Support Network (SAYSN): an organization that focuses on the support, empowerment, and connection of youth sexual assault survivors and those that support them. Through her work with SAYSN, Abrianna has had the opportunity to share her story and devotion to advocacy as a speaker at TEDxABQ Women 2017 and as an expert witness for NM Senate Bill 55, a bill brought forward by NM Sen. Jeff Steinborn, to extend the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse during the 2019 New Mexico Legislative Session. In addition to her work with SAYSN, Abrianna also held the title of Miss New Mexico’s Outstanding Teen 2018. This fall, she will be attending the University of New Mexico to study Political Science and Psychology.
