  1. Thank you for everything. I was crying when I watched the video you made together. I think there is power in the spoken word. I felt proud of you both, speaking right out loud about what you know to the going on, refusing to be silenced. I believe your words will help many hurting, frightened women who can scarcely believe what is happening to them in their own homes.
