Tessa grew up in the world of rock music as the stepdaughter of BoDeans founder Kurt Neumann. Now a mother and advocate, Tessa shares the story of how she was targeted, groomed, and abused by her stepfather's bandmate when she was just nine years old. After the extreme backlash and publicity her story received, Tessa knows just how powerful the words "I believe you" can be.
