Again I ask, what will it take for these women to be believed? How many survivors must break themselves open, pour their trauma in front of the public + elected officials to only wait for something to be done? Our job as survivors is to heal, not to be martyrs for systemic change
I want to acknowledge that many survivors and victims cannot share their stories publicly. That does not make their experiences and stories any less real, valid, or horrifying. There is space for all of us.
To all survivors and victims who may feel extra triggered, enraged, exhausted, or insert any feeling, this week - I see you. I believe you. Everything you're feeling is so valid + real. You're not alone in this. None of this is your fault. You're not too much. You're everything!
