I am determined to be more than my body - what my body has endured, what my body has become. - Roxane Gay

Rape was and is a cultural and political act: it attempts to remove a person with agency, autonomy, and belonging from their community, to secrete them and separate them, to depoliticize their body by rendering it detachable, violable, nothing.

The story of my life is wanting, hungering, for what I cannot have or, perhaps, wanting what I dare not allow myself to have.

Angry women care. Angry women speak and yell and sob their truths.
