When Natalie Jones was fifteen, she smoked weed for the first time and found herself in a state she describes as a "mini coma"—fully aware but unable to move her body. While staying at a friend's house that night, her friend's brother carried her from the bed into his room and raped her. "He took my virginity," she later recalled. "I was so flipping scared." The trauma of that assault, and the years of pain that followed, would shape every decision Natalie made for the rest of her life.
