It's not comfortable for me to share my trauma so publicly, but I've never hidden it. And what I mentioned here only scratches the surface.
I am traumatized presently, and this incident has triggered nausea, headaches, paranoia and sleeplessness. There are too many women who can relate and I have far more stories that I can tell, but that's not my point.
The point I wish to express today is to use your voice, use your power and stand up for the things that you know in your heart need to change. While I will continue to spread hope, optimism and positivity, I will always speak the truth.
Please realize that it's not appropriate to dismiss other people's traumas, as a few men have already done in hearing my story this week. Dismissing is minimizing. Being silent is being complicit.
If you don't like it, move on.
