Hi there! I decided to make this blog as a part of my Personal Action project for my Rape and Sexual course at SUNY New Paltz. This has become so much more than just a project however. I would really like to challenge the idea that we should all stay silent about our rapes. Rape is not inevitable but if we don't speak about our experiences how will we ever expect our society to change? I encourage everyone to share their stories here if you feel comfortable, please submit and ask questions I will answer every single question I receive. Before you share please read about some of the feelings that may arise from recounting your story. Also feel free to read about my story! Thank you all so much, together we can make a difference!
Hey there followers just a post to let you all know that I love you and think that you are amazing. Feel free to talk to me wherever you need to, stay safe :)

Photo Booth
an avalanche of quiet.
Your brain has shut down all defenses
and you are vulnerable.
To everything.
Everyone.
The avalanche keeps coming.
You lay supine.
Completely still.
Unable to move,
only to watch.
As your fate comes down upon you.
And that avalanche of quiet turns to screaming voices.
That you can’t silence."
