I should begin by telling you that at the age of 6 was the first time I was ever exposed to the naked male form.
We were living in York Mills Ontario in a cluster of Town Homes, behind, well, rather to the side and in the front of us there was a ravine, it had an abundant amount of trees and a pathway to go for strolls on. One Fine Saturday morning by three-year old brother and I went for a walk with our Mother and on the way back as we were fairly close to the tiny hill that would lead us to our front door a fully naked man walk out from behind a cluster of trees. I was the one who saw him first, he didn’t say anything but was wagging his junk at my mother, well, I guess at all of us but, you get the gist. My mother grabbed both our hands and said run. We ran home she called the police. I don’t know what happened to the man or if they ever found him. But that was my first experience with the inappropriate things people can do.
Over the years, many things have happened in my life and I am willing to share all here within these pages.
I, am known as “The Guardian” within my group, for many reasons, but mostly because of my ability to protect and help others, like, me who have suffered at the hands of others. But, also like others, have risen and become the strong woman I am today.
So, if you are feeling like your story does not matter, let me assure you, it does. If you feel like you are insignificant, let me tell, you matter. If, you are feeling like you don’t fit in, let me reassure you that here, within our pages, you will fit in just fine.
