I am also a survivor of sexual assault.

Stories have helped me heal. 

As a writer and a survivor, I’ve discovered that our minds do not understand a thing fully until we can tell ourselves a story about it. This is true for individuals and societies. What we often don’t realize is that we have a choice as to what stories we tell ourselves and each other. 

As a writer and a reader, I choose stories that uplift and encourage, that shape new possibilities and new ways of thinking. I choose stories that heal.
