Dear Family and Friends,
With the rise of #metoo over the past several months, we have heard the voices of more survivors in industries all over this country—Hollywood, the media, the tech industry, corporate America, the church and more. As these survivors share their stories we are reminded that gender-based violence is still pervasive, and that the stories of survivors help us to open our eyes to this worldwide problem. Here at A Long Walk Home, we believe in putting #survivorsfirst and we have been doing so for almost 20 years. In our decades long experience of putting #survivorsfirst, here is what we have learned:
- When survivors are first, they imagine new worlds. At A Long Walk Home our Girl/Friends youth leaders use art to tell their stories and imagine a world without sexual violence. The creative power of their voices reminds us that #survivorsfirst imagine safer and more just worlds together, and that art is a powerful way to relay those messages.
- When survivors are first entire families begin to heal. Through our parent program we have witnessed parents become activists against gender based violence and embrace their personal paths to healing.
- When survivors are first, whole communities are impacted. Our youth leaders used their artwork in the #SayHerName Memorial to honor the life of Rekia Boyd, celebrating her birthday and working to create a memorial to her that we will launch in the coming years.
- When survivors are first, and when we believe them we are better equipped to advocate against and end sexual violence! Our youth leaders have led workshops and participated in conferences all over the country where they are engaged in offering solutions to end gender based violence.
- When survivors are first movements begin! Our co-founders Scheherazade and Salamishah Tillet began A Long Walk Home with the belief that survivors' voices are important, are real, and are agents of transformation. From the first time Salamishah told her sister her story and from the first day Scheherazade photographed her sister, we have witnessed the importance of stories and art in creating a movement.
Now more than ever, the girls and young women of A Long Walk Home need your support. ALWH remains committed to supporting the most vulnerable amongst us--females of color--find their voices, become leaders, and ending violence in their communities. Your contribution of $100 will make a real difference and have impact.
Thank you, AS ALWAYS, for being someone I can lean on during these changing times. We truly are more powerful
together.
In solidarity,
Trina Greene Brown
