My Vagina Monologues journey started with “I was there in the room” 11 years ago. I was a naive 26 year old and did not know the first thing about birth. Today, my daughter joined me on stage for that same monologue-one that closely reflects our own birth story. I’m grateful that I am able to be in a space that allows me to continue to participate in this beautiful show...I hope that it continues throughout my career. #vivalavagina #vday #untiltheviolenceends #iwasthereintheroom #iremember @vipcenter_su @suwomenspeak @vdayorg https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSDeD2nyJ8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g31c7gk0dhjd

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It's a month painfully present in my heart, a month bearing some of the worst abuse I experienced. But I survived. Now I'm waging my own war against the ignorance surrounding abuse and sexual assault. It's not a gender problem - it's a humanity problem. In hope of sharing my story further, in 72 hours my book, I Am Ravven, will be 50% off on both Amazon and Kindle. Why 72 hours? Because within 72 hours of October, I lost my safety, security, innocence, and hope. Who I was before those hours was stolen from me, and I will never get that part of me back. Don't close your eyes to what's going on around you. One moment can change everything. #DomesticViolence #endthestigma #untiltheviolenceends #poet #poeticawareness #survivor #warrior #healer #lifeafterabuse #bethechange #beautyfromashes #untiltheviolenceends https://www.instagram.com/p/BoY-oiPhDqa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dxibqd68tw57

Tonight, we had the opportunity to hear Jackson Katz riff on masculinity, gender violence, and ways we can step up to end violence. It was worth it to stay late at the end of the night to have my book signed and tell him about my dissertation! Gender violence is not just a women’s issue; men need to be at the table so we can begin to break down the toxic masculinity that reinforces rape culture. The #metoo movement is powerful, but it will be even more powerful if we take action. What will you do to combat the gender based violence around you? #itsonus #itsonusmiami #untiltheviolenceends (at Hall Auditorium)
