TRIGGER WARNING - SEXUAL ASSAULT 

This week I go through my journey, lived experience, as a woman in this patriarchal society in terms of being treated like an object or piece of property. How that's affected my sense of self-worth and owning my past so I can move into the future as a new woman who values herself for the person she is and not just for her sexual prowess.
