If you have to keep proving you’re real in your circle, you’re in the wrong one. Survivors deserve circles that believe you, not interrogate you. ✊🏾 #SurvivorVoices #HealingIsTheNewBlack #NoDoormatEnergy #TraumaInformed #BelieveSurvivors

Dear world: stop telling Black women to ‘calm down.’ We are already calm—this is just what truth sounds like when it refuses to stay silent. 🔥 #Intersectionality

No one said it's going to be easy, but we have got to find the courage to face our old wounds and sit with our feelings if we are going to heal. If we don't give ourselves permission to feel the pain, we cannot heal the pain. We must feel it to heal it. ― Dana Arcuri
