April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month!!!

Thus far, my sorors and I have been working hard to spread the word, from our “Teal Tuesdays” (teal is the official color for the commemorative month), to sharing statistics and facts with the student body, to our whiteboard campaign. It was great to see my peers willingly join in and express themselves, as we worked to raise awareness about SAAM. :)

This is just a few of the MANY photos we have taken, posted, and shared…and from what I’ve been informed, our movement has been picked up by the Deltas and our sorors at Bethune-Cookman University, as well.

Service…gotta love it!

Star Wars is particularly good at tailoring its villains to what people of the time fear most: in the late 70’s/early 80’s, it was faceless, militaristic dictators, in the late 90’s/early 00’s it was shady politicians who seize power questionably and then immediately start wars with murky ulterior motives, and in the 10’s, it’s twentysomething white men with no self-control.

There is a gofundme for Kesha– so it would be great if you guys could reblog this to get the word out if you can’t donate yourself. There’s a FAQ on the gofundme itself so go there and look before you ask me any questions.

I am not affiliated with the creator of the gofundme, but I am all for it. 

Here’s the link to that gofundme

@effyeahequality – thought you’d like to share this with your followers!

if you can afford it–please donate!

Whoa, the culpability of the mother who ignores, tolerates to defends her traumatic bonding to the man she brought into my life & who raped me.

My mother died just last week, before my sexual abuser.

I desperately wanted that time after her husband died, to hear my mother apologize … but now, that will never happen.

I desperately wanted to know all the generational wounds, not being expressed.  

My brother is just as culpable. 

He @ that point in recovery, he won’t let his own girls near these dynamics but still believes that a catholic girls school will protect his daughters from the same injustices. 

He blames me for his emotional cowardliness.  I am requiring that those words “I love you” means compassion, protection and validation of my humanity. I’m requiring him to stand up against evil.

• WHOA, Camille, I hate you for your weakness.  
  
• WHOA, Camille, I pity you for your weakness. 
  

BUT I AM SO EXCITED THAT FOR THE NEXT WEEK on every news cast, 

will finally, be the public discussion 

of this most primal “Uncle Tom” sexism betrayal that the generation of women before us …. has done.
