The #MeToo movement has set free a whole lot of pain.  It has turned a floodlight on the courage of survivors.  It has opened up a wound that has been festering for as long as anyone can remember.  We have swallowed our rage for a long time.  We can't keep it down forever.  We're done keeping those secrets and we're done holding that shame.  It's not ours to hold.

I'm grateful to the people who shared their stories with me for this piece.  I stand in solidarity with them and with those who aren't ready to tell their stories and may never be.  

To those who have endured assault and harassment and everyday microaggressions, it is not your fault.  You do not deserve this.  I believe you.

Thank you to Angela Gist and Ethan DeLorenzo for collaborating on this project.  It’s been a privilege to hear these stories.
