I have participated in and have presented many workshops, readings and speaking engagements including poetry venues and conferences where I have met many victims and survivors of abuse who have stood up, spoke up and are determined to never be a victim again. These same people have their own voice and are no longer in need of mine. More power to them and my voice will always be theirs. In the next few days I will be dealing with a situation that has had me by the throat for months and honestly I am worn out. I am emotionally exhausted yet have to prepare for one more battle and I have absolutely nothing left in me to fight. So when I say I'm done it means I will not continue my advocacy; I can no longer stand alone. Thank you to all who have supported me in everything I have done. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need resources, contacts or ideas.
