I Wanted to End My Life after Being Publicly Shamed. Content Warning.
“Sometimes we tolerate unacceptable behavior from others because we don’t know we deserve better.” — Kia Stephens Sitting in the front passenger seat of a packed crew van, on our way to clean a ‘quick turnaround’ aircraft, the forty-something male colleague, sitting next to me — out of nowhere and loud enough for the male crew members sitting behind us to hear — unashamedly ridiculed me, in detail, about my genitalia.

Rebel Red
“I would rather be a rebel than a slave” — Emmeline Pankhurst Saturday, May 4th, 1912, Suffrage Parade — New York That day is etched on my mind so well. It’s how I’ve got to be where I am now, and not too long ago — just about a month! It was a beautiful Saturday, as rain often falls in May in New York, but not that day — it was just glorious!
