the speech which inspired this book
Dedication
To all the boys and men
who thought they could
destroy the light God put
in my soul, turning it to darkness:
You all failed.
Dedication II
To all the girls and women
who read the pages
of this book
and see yourself in the words:
Don’t let them dim your light.
Stop it now…
so you won’t have to say,
‘Me Too’.
Together, women are
changing the world.
The era in which
brutally powerful men
control our lives
and our decisions is over.
Their time is up!

begging anyone would come
break down the door and save

at the assurance of your voice
that everything was okay
but I wasn’t
and never would be again…
Chased; caught somewhere between
