Odyssey House executive director praises Oprah speech

The executive director of Odyssey House is applauding Oprah Winfrey’s Golden Globes speech warning powerful men who abuse women that their time is up.

Ebony Rempel says it is important that this conversation is happening and gaining momentum.

“I feel really blessed I suppose and privileged, to live in an era where women can go up and make those kinds of speeches and say those kind of things and get standing ovations not boos or questioned or negativity around it.”

She says more women are finding the courage to come forward and share their stories with less fear of not being believed.
