Journal Prompts: Fear and Courage

Instagram

Facilitating tomorrow for BIPOC survivors of sexual violence. Our bodies are nuanced and dissected, esp if you are a female bodied person. Across many cultures, our bodies our shamed and seen as to be something of service to cis men. This relationship is only more complicated when sexual violence and the isolation that comes from it is added to the mix.

My body has been transforming for years, as a manifestation of chronic illnesses. This has changed me mentally, and my relationship to my body and pleasure. 🍑

I haven't felt safe around a lot of people, or in a lot of relationships, because of things that happened as a child and continued into teenagehood and adulthood. Q made me feel safe, and having that allowed me to question- is this reality enough for me. He gave me a love that liberates.

Some things I've learned recently:

I did something a little different and decided to try an epistolary (letter writing) format. It ended up being about forgiveness, but also larger themes of adultifying and sexualizing Black girls.

Living out loud comes with a lot of joy. It also comes with some assholes intent on being cishetero-normative to the point of violence (and other forms of harm) if you dare break the mold.
