Who is it for?
For the survivors of childhood sexual assault. For the survivors of child abuse. For the survivors of narcissistic abuse. For the survivors of workplace abuse. For the survivors of sexual abuse. For the survivors of coercive control. For the survivors of intimate partner violence. For ANY person who has survived the impacts of trauma— especially trauma over time.
This is where we build trust and safety and community. It’s a place where we openly trash abusers (F*CK YOU CHRIS BROWN!) We know where the safe places in the city are… We know which businesses align with the same ethics. We don’t patron businesses that employ known abusers and we spread the word when we need to. It’s for those who have ever questioned… “is this a red flag?” It’s for those who feel the weight of their trauma whenever they feel vulnerable. It’s for those who need to build safe relationships and for those who are in unsafe ones. Do you need help leaving? Do you need help finding the courage to move forward? This space is for you.
Basically, if you’ve survived any horrors you belong here. This stuff is HEAVY. Feel alone? You’re not. I got you. Feel embarrassed? Don’t. I got you. Feel scared? It’s okay. I got you. I want this place to be a network for those who really need it. Even if you THINK you may need help but you’re scared to ask for it… I want you to be able to interact with this network on all levels… so it’s supporting people who haven’t even asked for support yet.
Now to noodle on how to make this network happen…
Clear eyes… full hearts… f*ck chris brown <3
