I came across your website when i was thirteen years of age. That day will always stay in my memory. The day when I finally realized. I had a vagina and was DAMN proud of it. I started loving my vagina when i got my period at eleven. I was earlier than all my other friends and I felt very odd. Mature, but odd.

I had been lucky enough to never have been abused by parents or anyone else for that matter. But my mother had been for almost 18 years by her father. Verbally, physically, emotionally, mentally. Her self-esteem had been crushed and she developed an eating disorder. Her boyfriend (my father) made her feel beautiful inside & out.

After countless times coming to this website, reading stories of strong, brave women, seeing the Vagina Monologues & reading about the oh-so-admirable, Eve Ensler...I finally found my calling. I was meant to attend, speak & preach about these beautiful Vagina Warriors. How do i know? Because I do it everyday. At times, I think my friends get tired of my constant outbursts about how one out of three women will be abused in her lifetime. These statistics are the frightening reality of our times which many have yet to understand. I STILL dont fully understand. But I hope one day, I'll be able to say that I am making a difference in a person's life. A difference that I've wanted to make since the age of eleven.

Overall, I am thanking you; the beautiful women that fulfill their visions. That reach for the "impossible". Thank you for making it possible.
