Resistance

“Resistance” is about survivorship, resilience, the power of female bonds, and the way our physical bodies connect us to something greater. It also tells an important and not-often-told story about supporting friends who are survivors of sexual trauma. This creative nonfiction essay was two years in the making and the most challenging piece I had written to date when it was published in Lunch Ticket’s Amuse Bouche series in the fall of 2020.
