Breaking the Silence
During the summer of 2017, I experienced a trauma that shattered my sense of safety and trust.
My life split into a “before” and an “after.” What happened to me that summer was traumatic, disorienting, and deeply violating. I remember the fear, the confusion, the shame, and the two gruelling years of navigating a justice system that felt cold and clinical at a time when I needed humanity the most.
I also remember the silence.
