MEN: HOW TO SHOW UP TO #METOO
As I begin to write this, I feel the need to acknowledge our grandmothers, mothers, aunts, godmothers, and all their relations who, in fear of their lives, were not able to come out and express Me Too. I honor all the women within our ancestry who have chosen to bare these unbearable traumas because their lives were at risk, their children's lives were at risk, and their generation was not one that could openly discuss trauma. I would also like to acknowledge activist sister, Tarana Burke, who is the women that coined "Me too" ten years ago.
When it comes to addressing the male audience that may read this, my intention is not to shame you. Shaming helps no ones. I am a woman with my own experiences and a long list of stories that have been shared with me in confidence. I ask men to be patient, be ready to experience the ripple this may have on your life, be supportive, and act to be part of the solution.
