thank you, maggie
today marks the first anniversary celebration of Violence UnSilenced… the place that gave me the strength to speak out last august and share my story.
it is all thanks to maggie, that i was able to do this…
***EDITED: 5:27 pm***
after spending the majority of today, watching this video repeatedly, dancing with my beautiful son and then seeing him recognize me in the video and exclaim “MOMMY!!!!!!” i asked for maggie’s permission to embed the actual video on my blog so that you readers don’t even have to click to go elsewhere to witness the awesome empowerment that takes place when people come together and SPEAK OUT!!!!













<3 such an amazing website.
and dammit, you’re so cuuuuuuute!
Congrats on moving forward. On having the strength to speak out, and for providing so many women like you with the confidence to get help. I’m so happy for you, and I know many others are too.
Happy anniversary to VU.

I think you are so amazing. And I sincerely hope that your courage inspires someone else to speak out as well. The violence has to stop. Can I say again just how amazing I think you are?
