@democracynow literally used my song on their news broadcast... WHAT?????!!!!! Someone heard it and came to my page to let me know how they found me. OMG..... I am.... speechless. Who Will Cry (for the little girl) was a personal journey song for me that started this path to complete freedom of myself. I began therapy to seek out some past traumas that was keeping me from my future. I quit 2 jobs that I had been employed with for 16 years. I let go of some baggage that I had held onto. I just wanted to be free from my past demons. This song has touched many and I’ve received emails, inbox messages, etc. for many years since the release in 2015. I’ve even had people ask to use it in small productions. The fact that a news outlet thought it to be a great fit for one of their segments means more than I could imagine. Telling my truth through song has helped many. I had people question the rawness of the lyrics and my approach to the delivery of the words because no one wants to allow themselves to dig that deep. Sexual assault is a traumatizing event to the ones just hearing about it let alone the ones experiencing it. No one wants to think that it happens. Especially when it’s someone that people don’t expect it to come from. I understand why people don’t want to accept Bill Cosby and R Kelly. But muting the women affected does more damage than the act itself at times. #WhoWillCry #SchawaynaRaie #ContinueToShareYourStory #iWill Here’s the full segment https://publish.dvlabs.com/democracynow/360/dn2019-0104.mp4 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOn3aCnhv9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=184tgc77troq9
