THE STORY UNTOLD Empowered by resilience, I transcended the anguish of abandonment and pursued understanding, not to assign blame, but to recognize the growth that emerged from it. These inquiries now fuel my inner fortitude. The profound consequences of the deception awakened me, and though they were overwhelming, I emerged stronger, my life transformed, and my spirit renewed. I discovered that the trauma, though profound, could be overcome, leaving me feeling empowered. Ultimately, I chose not to bear the burden of the perpetrator's actions, but instead, I stood tall, an innocent bystander who rose above the pain, and I continue to carry the torch of resilience for myself and the women who stood with me in solidarity. Based on a true story! What happened in my prison?
