💙💜 Silence Is Not Consent ✨

✨ Why I’m Sharing This

💙💜 I am sharing this for my healing and for awareness.
✨ This poem reflects my lived experience and the reality of stalking, grooming, coercion, and survival.
💜💙 The song I chose matters deeply because it honors who I was as a young girl, how far I’ve come, and my sister, who endured similar harm and continues to honor her journey and remembrance of her.
✨ This is not about revenge. It is about truth, boundaries, and reclaiming peace.

✨ The Poem ✨

💙💜 My phone rang everywhere I went —
✨ not love, but intrusion.
💜 not coincidence, but control.

💙💜 Money requests disguised as need.
✨ Likes that felt like eyes watching.
💜 Calls at all hours, until sleep no longer felt safe.

💙💜 I blocked.
✨ And blocked.
💜 And blocked again — for years.

💙💜 I made my pages private.
✨ No new requests.
💜 No access without trust.

💙💜 This did not begin yesterday.
✨ It began decades ago —
💜 with grooming disguised as care,
💙 coercion masked as concern,
✨ and stalking that waited patiently.

💙💜 Pregnancy did not protect me —
✨ it intensified the harm.
💜 Calls, pressure, and fear,
💙 and a court process I never should have endured.

💙💜 I stepped away from places I once loved.
✨ Alumni events.
💜 Volunteer spaces.
💙 Anywhere my body remembered before my mind did.

💙💜 A woman I trusted — a pendeja cloaked in righteousness —
✨ kept placing me and my children near harm,
💜 calling it faith, calling it family.
💙 That was not love. That was betrayal.

💙💜 I considered changing my number.
✨ Instead, I learned to block.
💜 To document.
💙 To survive.

💙💜 For years, my husband and I had peace.
✨ He stood beside me —
💜 steady, loving, safe.
💙 The only man I ever wanted near my healing.

💙💜 Stalking Awareness is not one month for me.
✨ It lives in the way I still jump when my phone rings.
💜 In the way I still look over my shoulder.
💙 In learning how to breathe again.

💙💜 Still —
✨ an angel broken
💜 will spread her wings
💙 and fly.

💙💜 ESPAÑOL – POEMA COMPLETO ✨

✨ Por qué comparto esto

💙💜 Comparto esto para mi sanación y para crear conciencia.
✨ Este poema refleja mi experiencia vivida con el acoso, la manipulación y la supervivencia.
💜💙 La canción que elegí honra a la niña que fui, lo lejos que he llegado y a mi hermana, quien también vivió experiencias similares y continúa su propio camino de sanación.
✨ Esto no es venganza. Es verdad, límites y paz.

⸻

✨ El Poema ✨

💙💜 Mi teléfono sonaba a donde fuera —
✨ no era amor, era intrusión.
💜 no era coincidencia, era control.

💙💜 Solicitudes de dinero disfrazadas de necesidad.
✨ “Me gusta” que se sentían como ojos observando.
💜 Llamadas a toda hora, hasta que dormir dejó de ser seguro.

💙💜 Bloqueé.
✨ Y bloqueé.
💜 Y bloqueé otra vez — durante años.

💙💜 Hice mis páginas privadas.
✨ Sin nuevas solicitudes.
💜 Sin acceso sin confianza.

💙💜 Esto no comenzó ayer.
✨ Comenzó hace décadas —
💜 con manipulación disfrazada de cuidado,
💙 coerción disfrazada de preocupación,
✨ y acoso que esperaba pacientemente.

💙💜 El embarazo no me protegió —
✨ intensificó el daño.
💜 Llamadas, presión y miedo,
💙 y un proceso judicial que nunca debí soportar.

💙💜 Me alejé de lugares que antes amaba.
✨ Eventos de exalumnos.
💜 Espacios de voluntariado.
💙 Donde mi cuerpo recordaba antes que mi mente.

💙💜 Una mujer en quien confié — una pendeja envuelta en falsa rectitud —
✨ siguió poniendo a mis hijos y a mí cerca del daño,
💜 llamándolo fe, llamándolo familia.
💙 Eso no fue amor. Fue traición.

💙💜 Pensé en cambiar mi número.
✨ En lugar de eso, aprendí a bloquear.
💜 A documentar.
💙 A sobrevivir.

💙💜 Durante años, mi esposo y yo tuvimos paz.
✨ Él estuvo a mi lado —
💜 firme, amoroso, seguro.
💙 El único hombre que quise cerca de mi sanación.

💙💜 La concientización sobre el acoso no es solo un mes para mí.
✨ Vive en la forma en que aún me sobresalto cuando suena el teléfono.
💜 En cómo todavía miro sobre mi hombro.
💙 En aprender a respirar de nuevo.

💙💜 Y aun así —
✨ un ángel herido
💜 extenderá sus alas
💙 y volará.

💙💜 FRANÇAIS – POÈME COMPLET ✨

✨ Pourquoi je partage ceci

💙💜 Je partage ceci pour ma guérison et pour la sensibilisation.
✨ Ce poème reflète mon vécu face au harcèlement, à la manipulation et à la survie.
💜💙 La chanson que j’ai choisie honore la jeune fille que j’étais, le chemin parcouru et ma sœur, qui a elle aussi vécu des expériences similaires.
✨ Ce n’est pas une vengeance. C’est la vérité, les limites et la paix.

⸻

✨ Le Poème ✨

💙💜 Mon téléphone sonnait partout —
✨ ce n’était pas de l’amour, mais une intrusion.
💜 ce n’était pas un hasard, mais du contrôle.

💙💜 Des demandes d’argent déguisées en besoin.
✨ Des “j’aime” qui ressemblaient à des regards insistants.
💜 Des appels à toute heure, jusqu’à ce que le sommeil ne soit plus sûr.

💙💜 J’ai bloqué.
✨ Encore et encore.
💜 Pendant des années.

💙💜 J’ai rendu mes pages privées.
✨ Aucune nouvelle demande.
💜 Aucun accès sans confiance.

💙💜 Cela n’a pas commencé récemment.
✨ Cela a commencé il y a des décennies —
💜 avec une manipulation déguisée en attention,
💙 une coercition masquée par le soin,
✨ et un harcèlement patient.

💙💜 La grossesse ne m’a pas protégée —
✨ elle a intensifié la douleur.
💜 Pression, peur et appels incessants,
💙 et une procédure judiciaire que je n’aurais jamais dû subir.

💙💜 Je me suis éloignée d’endroits que j’aimais autrefois.
✨ Réunions d’anciens élèves.
💜 Espaces de bénévolat.
💙 Là où mon corps se souvenait avant mon esprit.

💙💜 Une femme en qui j’avais confiance — une pendeja cachée derrière la piété —
✨ a continué à me placer, moi et mes enfants, près du danger,
💜 appelant cela la foi, appelant cela la famille.
💙 Ce n’était pas de l’amour. C’était une trahison.

💙💜 J’ai pensé changer de numéro.
✨ À la place, j’ai appris à bloquer.
💜 À documenter.
💙 À survivre.

💙💜 Pendant des années, mon mari et moi avons eu la paix.
✨ Il est resté à mes côtés —
💜 stable, aimant, protecteur.
💙 Le seul homme que je voulais près de ma guérison.

💙💜 La sensibilisation au harcèlement n’est pas limitée à un mois pour moi.
✨ Elle vit dans la façon dont je sursaute encore lorsque le téléphone sonne.
💜 Dans le regard que je jette encore derrière moi.
💙 Dans l’apprentissage de respirer à nouveau.

💙💜 Et pourtant —
✨ un ange brisé
💜 déploiera ses ailes
💙 et volera.

🚨 ACTION ALERT! 🚨 Tell Congress to protect future U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding for the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program and defend housing for survivors.

While we look toward the passage of today's spending bill, there's more work to do to ensure survivors have access to safe housing. The Senate goes out of session TOMORROW, and they still need to find a clear path to ensure that future HUD funding for the CoC Program is awarded expeditiously and in accordance with law and statute.

Current uncertainty will disrupt services, erode trust, and create other unnecessary challenges for survivors and programs. Domestic violence and sexual assault are already leading causes of homelessness for women and children in the United States. Congress must intervene to prevent further harm.

[Image description: Against a purple background, orange and white text reads: "Call 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senator or Representative's office. Tell them: Hello, my name is [name] and I live in [city, state/territory]. [If you work for a local/state program, make sure to mention that.] I’m calling on behalf of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to urge [Representative or Senator’s name] to find a path that will ensure that future HUD funding for the Continuum of Care Program is awarded expeditiously and in accordance with law and statute. Domestic violence and sexual assault are leading causes of homelessness for women and children in the United States. HUD’s recent actions relating to the FY25 Continuum of Care Program Notice of Funding Opportunity are likely to harm survivors, their children, and our communities. Because of HUD’s recent actions and ongoing litigation, there is currently no clear path forward for how and when HUD will approve applications or distribute funds. This uncertainty will disrupt services, erode trust, and create other unnecessary challenges. It is more vital than ever for Congress to intervene and protect housing for survivors and our communities. I urge your office to include a provision in an upcoming appropriations bill that directs HUD to renew all existing Continuum of Care grants expiring during calendar year 2026 for one 12-month period. This no-cost provision is consistent with bipartisan Congressional direction and will ensure there are no unnecessary gaps and delays in resources. Thank you for supporting survivors.”] NNEDV logo below.

Sometimes staying is the safest option available — even when it doesn’t look that way from the outside.

Survivors deserve compassion, context, and systems that truly protect.

From age 7-11, I was sexually abused by a family friend. Here is a poem I wrote about it, from my book “Courageous Vulnerability.” Available on Amazon.

“PREY”
He was so young, and naive! He didn’t even know what was going on. He was still being taught addition and subtraction, but he knew that what was happening to him didn’t add up. She told him it was fun. She was at least 8 years older than him, and the abuse happened for years. He’s still young, but he understands now what’s been going. It keeps him up at night. He’s 11, and he decides to tell her he’s not going to do it anymore. He says he doesn’t like it, and he never did. The abuse stops. But years later he has desires, while simultaneously being off put at the thought. He likes girls but he’s somewhat of a weirdo, because they want to experiment, and he has a hindering feeling making him fear it. He always thinks to himself, “Will it hurt as much as it did before?” And then he just walks away from the situation. Now a young teen, in a world when everyone his age is saying they’re trying it, he often finds himself lying and talking about how many girls he’s been with. The truth is he’s terrified, and not informed enough about life to know he’s dealing with the ghost of his past.
He hears on tv about kids going through what sounds like the same thing, and hurting themselves. Now he’s battling with 4 beast; an unexplainable sexual desire, fear of carrying out the act, peer pressure, and suicidal thoughts because these demons torment him day and night. And to add injury to insult, he doesn’t know that he’s a victim and the root of this started when he was young. He’s much older now, and after multiple failed su***de attempts, he’s found ways around the depression through drug use. He’s damaged and society tells him he’s being a man, and that he got introduced young, but that’s a good thing. He’s completely toxic and he doesn’t even know he needs to change, even though he’s in church multiple times a week. He’s a dog. He’s a player. He’s unfaithful. He’s THE MAN. He’s got game or…. Has he been preyed on, and is a victim that doesn’t know he’s a victim, living in a culture that promotes his mental condition as a good thing? He’s had it hard, but there are so many others that have had it much worse. Even worse than himself, and other young men and women who have been PREY. Keep Going GOD Got You!

I was around 4, when my older cousin started molesting me.
I remember waking up to him, with his mouth on my privates. When I opened my eyes and he noticed I was awake, he told me not to tell anyone. In that moment, I had realized something precious was taken from me. All throughout my life from that point on, I began to struggle with finding my voice. Around age 11, I mustered the courage to tell my mother. She didn’t take what I said seriously and my cousin was still allowed around me, whether it was in church or my home.
I grew up feeling uncomfortable and unsafe. I merged into alcoholism and drugs at the age of 12. Now, I am married and a mother of three. I am also a psychology major, and children’s advocate. I found my voice through receiving YHWH into my life. I’ve written a children’s book and devotional, as well as traveled to Africa and lived in Asia. I took back my life. Speaking up, is my liberation and duty. I am an overcomer by faith, and the word of my testimony. Let us investigate when children feel uncomfortable. Let’s not be passive aggressive, when it comes to the safety of children!

A man sexually assaulted me when I was 5. He was a friend of the family.
I was taken to the hospital. I had to learn how to Re-walk again. He was never locked up. I was taken from my mom, separated from my siblings and adopted by my aunt. Another man started messing with me at 9 years old. Another man messed with me when I was 11 years old, for years. He got caught with me at a motel, and was taken to the police station for questioning. I was taken to the hospital to be examined, then to the police station for questions. He didn’t get locked up. Another man got me pregnant at 13, when he was 36. A DNA test was done when I was 15, and I felt failed. Even though he was proved to be my daughter’s father, he didn’t get locked up. At 14, my son’s dad started messing with me, he was 23. He began to beat me. I would call the police, and he would get a domestic violence charge. I escaped abuse at age 23.
None of my abusers were ever charged. I started hearing God’s voice in 2019. God told me to quit my job January of 2020. I did just that. Not knowing how I would make it financially, but God made a way. I broke silence July 3, 2020 by sharing my story of abuse. God spoke to me in a dream September 3, 2020. I woke up the next morning and did as God instructed. I instantly fell to the floor, and immediately the chains fell off of me. I cried out to God asking him to deliver me and help me. That night, I woke up speaking in tongues. God had healed, delivered, and set me free. I kept hearing God’s voice. God told me it was time to write my book. I picked up my laptop January 2021. My book “My Pain is My Power,” was published on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles. It’s an inspirational book, that others have said has helped them in their life. I now have a Nonprofit Organization called “We Believe You” because I was not believed. And I instantly lost my inner voice and went into a shell, that took 27 years to come out of.

Leaving doesn’t always mean the abuse stops.
For many survivors, it simply changes form.
Smear campaigns, harassment, and retaliation are real—and they are abuse.
