Quotes:

Too many of us think our stories don't matter. Our voice doesn't matter. Think that what we say or the connections we can build doesn't matter.
I remember praying all the time; I just wanted peace. I just want peace. I just want this to stop. I just want this to not be my life.
It's really sad because my story is not unique. There are a lot of women who have children in these types of environments, and it's because they're in environments where they're trying to escape, and there's a temporary safety in that place.
It's such a beautiful thing to say, 'I'm so sorry.' Sometimes, we don't think what we did was a big deal, and then we hear it from them and what it did for them or how that made them feel.
When we can sit down together and have, like, I'm sorry that I hurt your conversation, then it gives them the urgency to be able to have those conversations in their relationships and with children when they have them someday.
We don't do anybody any justice when we lie to them and don't share the truth about who somebody was.
