Melodies of Healing

As Miss New York 1995,  Helen Goldsby disclosed publicly that she had been a survivior of 8-years of child sexual assault. The Miss America program requires each state titleholder to assume a platform using a community or world issue as their service to their state and nation. Helen's platform and issue of choice was--you guessed it, Child Sexual Assault: Awareness and Advocacy. She has continued in her fight to teach awareness, prevention and healing to the topic and its survivors throughout her time as Miss New York through today; even alongside a successful career as a singer, actress, and speaker and ultra busy life as a mother of two.  https://www.helengoldsby.com/
