Through this post, I want to highlight this reality: speaking up also exposes one to hostility and judgment from those who would rather not listen. Yet, it is vital to continue sharing our stories because every voice raised can save, raise awareness, and offer support.
Speaking out to denounce injustice and share one’s experience is an act of courage. But this choice also means enduring horrible messages, having one’s words questioned, and one’s pain ignored.
