I saw her perform at SDLC 2013 and it literally changed my life. I came home, looked my parents in the eye and told them my story for the first time. And when with true Staceyanne Chin passion, I said WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS NOT MY FAULT.

I used to picket. I used to speak to state reps, congressmen, canvass for presidential cadidates and the enviroment, go to rallies. When I had my daughter and I started trying to find myself, I realized that these things were not realistic between kindergarten, bills, a 9 to 5, and I didn't know what I had to give. I've discovered what I have now. I have my story. I give my poetry, I speak out to my daughter any other woman that are tired from being so alone. This video was my first push toward writing my memior, "Closing Pandora's Box." Far worse than the circumstances of the story I write was the feeling of being alone, like no one would ever understand, and the feeling of complete dispair, knowing that this was all my life would ever be. I now know that there is life after survival. If I can share that with one person, give them the hope of healing, it is worth it. Thank you Staceyann, for being that woman for me.
