so i saw an inspiring post on another site and i wanted to do it here. we know of the injustice going on in minn. but how do we stop it. how do we overcome... there is no right answer but i wanted to share a story with you. im not black im not a minority in any way but we all have stories to tell. i invite you to tell yours now. in honor of those that cant....
i started stripping at 18ish i dont remember but i used a fake id (the clubs didnt accept dancers under 21) i did that for somewhere around a year. it was fun and i loved the experience. drugs and alcohol were a huge part of the environment and that was fun too. getting drunk soon didnt suffice and i turned to drugs. pills heroin coke etc. anything to get a buzz. i didnt do it because of work but some do.... i did it because i liked it. i was prob around 19 when a man asked me to see him after the club. young and dumb i said sure. (starting to cry now but tears of joy for telling the story) when i got to his place he and 4 others pinned me down and raped me. 6 hours of torture and they were all found guilty 6 months later... 2 months home confinement... 2 fucking months.... the drug use continued... i couldnt afford the habit any longer and had been locked up several times with fines for each... i started to walk the streets. ive seen the injustice from another perspective. they would arrest us for stupid shit and let the men go. now im not saying this shouldnt be legal ive asked for that for years but none the less. we have to speak up and tell our stories. i was unresponsive and overdosing a year ago today and a cop saved me with narcan. they arent all bad but the laws and the legal system need changed and they need changed now.
Got something to say?
