Rina Sawayama Instagram – in June I sat down with BBC and told the story of Hold The Girl in a way I wasn’t ready to originally, and you can now watch the interview in full. I hope that by telling this story we can learn how to better protect young people and raise awareness of abuses of power situations everywhere. I was plagued by shame for decades and bringing my own experience to light feels like the last step to be freed from that. Thank you to my team and fans who have supported me no matter what ❤️ If you or a loved one have been affected by any kind of similar situations, please visit BBC Action Line for resources. No one should have to face this alone 🤍
