They Matter

“While trying to nurture and heal our trauma, we are still expected to smile and educate people acting like we and our experiences are new. I have been quiet and not because I didn’t have anything to say but because I didn’t have anything NEW to say. We have been shouting from the rooftops, begging for them to SEE US, BELIEVE US, CARE FOR US and HELP US. No one cared until we destroyed a Target.”
