She generally gave herself very good advice

But she very seldom followed it.

“I wanted to tell her not to entertain despair like this. Despair wasn’t a guest, you didn’t play its favorite music, find it a comfortable chair. Despair was the enemy.”

We met Alton Brown at a show he did here - we paid the extra cash to meet him and get a blurry cellphone pic with him and have him sign a picture. He noticed my (male) companion’s pocket watch, and proceeded to order him to take it out of his pocket. It wasn’t obnoxious, it was in a Dom tone that brooked no argument. So he complied. When he found out it wasn’t wound, and so not working, he was deeply disappointed, and told him to do better next time. 

If this guy isn’t a Dom, I’ll eat that spreader bar.

The first time I saw this post, I had just finished telling my husband that Alton overuses the word “lube” on Good Eats when he’s referring to oiling up a pan. Alton knows exactly what he’s doing.

Just the other day I was delivered a massive wake up call when an individual I know, one with multiple daughters, shared something online questioning the credibility of Ford in the Kavanaugh case. Normally, I wouldn’t waste my time arguing with someone online, however, I was compelled this day to give a possible answer as to why Ford didn’t go to the police 30 plus years ago. As the discussion/argument between the two of us and a handful of others unfolded, I found myself in tears. Not because I can’t hold my own in a debate, but because I began to lose hope. He, like many others, found it more important to put politics ahead of humanity and perpetuate the notion that a woman cannot be believed when she discloses her trauma.

Little does he know, a woman in his family was sexually assaulted by her grandfather. She was not believed by her family, but was told the man was touching her because he loved her. After receiving this response, she kept quiet for 20 years with no intention of bringing up the assault to anyone else. When this man was about to be granted a leadership role at a young girl’s camp, this woman–my mother–broke her silence. She went to the church in which he held other leadership positions and relived her trauma–not to “ruin his career” or to “seek revenge,” but to save other young girls from the same fate she couldn’t be saved from.

I strongly believe this is what Ford is doing. Breaking her silence to save the rest of us from a fate she couldn’t escape.

It is time we start believing survivors. It is time we give support. It is time we listen.

Thank you, Mom, for being courageous and allowing me to share your story. You are my world.
