Can you tell us the main point of your story?

Family and domestic violence and how it relates to relationships with partners.

Why did you choose to tell this story?

Because I am living it. I realized through the workshop, telling my story, other people identified with it. It helped me think that my story was more important than I had thought.

Is there a take away for other women?

Yes, by sending the message that you can end certain patterns, and to stop seeing yourself as the victim. Then, you will be able to see yourself as the main character of your story.

Do you think you have given something to other women?

It’s not easy to tell a story so personal. But maybe down the line, when you show my story, it will help.

Has participating in this workshop impacted you?

It helped to put into words what I could not express before.
