@visionnehemiah @AyannaZariya According to a young woman in my church who came over the border illegally, the informal name for those who get people over the border is coyote. It's a profession.
And I'm no fan of Trump, lol.
This tweet came mid way through a thread that is important in its own right. But it got me thinking about my own story.
I did speak, eventually, and tell the truth. I wasn't the victim. But my dad was the molester.
Show up. Be willing to speak. Stop clinging to frameworks you esteem as more important than the truth. It's life and death. This isn't a game. Be proactive in telling the truth. Ask what you can do. Come back and ask again.
Bring the darkness into the light.
So to go back to @R_Denhollander and her thoughts:
No, it's no game. To do right often has a high cost. The cost of pain, even to despair of life in the midst of it, is worth the benefit of justice. There is justice in speaking the truth.
