One of most powerful and poetic books I've read read in years.
This rape case, or preciously the judge's ruling, rocked me.
Hearing the story in Chanel's own words was beyond moving and illuminating.
The judge had given Brock something that would never be extended to me: empathy.
My pain was never more valuable than his potential.
I did not come into existence when he harmed me.
She found her voice!
I had a voice, he stopped it, left me groping around blind for a bit,
but I always had it.
I just used it like I never had to use it before.
I do not owe him my success, becoming, he did not create me.
The only credit Brock can take is for assaulting me, and he could never even admit to that.
