On Friday, the young mom gave a keynote speech at Brigham Young University in observance of April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month kicked off. Smart not only studied music at BYU, but has also been an advocate for abuse victims and spoken publicly about her experience to raise awareness.

The Daily Herald reports she told several hundred students, "It's not what happens to people, but how they react that defines who they are… I do not feel like I am defined as a rape victim, a kidnap victim," she said. "I feel so much more than that."

Brian David Mitchell, who held Smart captive in 2002 with his wife, Wanda Barzee for nine months, kidnapped the then 14-year-old from her Salt Lake City home. Police later rescued her when a couple on a busy street in Utah spotted her.
