We’re thrilled to be talking to Brooke Flanagan from Ashley Warren’s Survivors’ Dawn. It is a pleasure to have Brooke with us today at Pimp That Character!                      Thank you for your interview, Brooke.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? I’m twenty-four and a regional director for the A Campus Aware movement, which promotes awareness of the crisis of sexual assault on college campuses. Our organization has a similar vision to that of It’s On Us. I wouldn’t be surprised if the two groups merge someday. What would I love the most about you? That I’m alive. Two days after I was assaulted, I tried to commit suicide by walking in front of a speeding car. Luck and the driver’s quick reflexes saved me from being killed. With the help of my mother and some great friends, I went on to become a voice in the war against sexual assault on col...

I’m in my early thirties and I’m a juvenile criminal defense lawyer.  Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? My long legs. I attract attention when I walk into the room.

What makes you laugh out loud? I’m currently the nanny for a family of four children. The oldest of the four, David, is constantly giving his younger siblings looks of exasperation even though he’s only eight. I can’t help but giggle out loud whenever he sighs at them and shakes his head as if he were an old man. It’s adorable. What is your greatest fear? My greatest fear is that Hitler will destroy the world before the allied forces manage to stop him. He’s a monster.   Do you think the author portrayed you accurately? She tried her best. She constantly checked my vernacular to ensu...
