I am a writer and sometimes I speak and train on the things that I write about.
I’ve always written, and I’ve always wanted to write. My mission in life is to speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves - the downtrodden, the silenced,the oppressed, the abused. I’ve had that experience myself. To have your voice taken away is one of the most disempowering experiences a person can have. I want to help people get their voice back. I have been raped, I have been tortured, I have been abused at every level. But no-one can take my voice away.
As a result of the trauma I suffered, I developed Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). But that hasn’t diminished me - it’s just given me multiple voices with which to speak. Fundamentally, I believe in hope for recovery for every single human being affected by trauma. I believe it for myself, and I’m seeing it in my life. My work is to help promote that hope for recovery for others too.
People very rarely remember what you say. But they do remember what they say to themselves as a result of what you say.
