My thoughts on all the news stories going on today:

Rape is never okay. I don’t care what someone is wearing, what someone’s relationship status is, how much someone has had to drink. Rape is NEVER okay. “No” means no. “I’m not sure” means no. “Not now” means no. “Don’t touch me” means no. Silence means no.

I am sick of rape. I am sick of victim-blaming. I am sick of the twisted media stories and the protection of rapists. Anger boils under my skin, sinks into the depths of my pores as I read story after story after story about men and women survivors of rape having unfair trials and as I think about all of the survivors that are suffering in silence because we as a society have taught them to hide and feel shame.

I will never stop using my voice to stand up for the victims of rape. And I sincerely hope that you will do the same.

SEND YOUR LOVE TO ABBY!

Hi Ladies!

    Today, Abby, our founder, mentor, pseudo mom, and my best friend, was admitted to ER and had a surgery done tonight due to a minor health complication. No need for details because she is doing much better now and will be able to go home tomorrow to rest and recover. However, let’s make her recovery that much better and quicker by sending her all of our positive vibes and warm wishes her way. She is the strongest person I have in my life, so I have no doubt she will be back and better than ever soon, but for the meantime, let her be in our thoughts and prays.

We love you, Abby. You inspire me (us) more and more everyday. Keep being you. and keep being ridiculously awesome.

xoxo

Darby
