When I invited a date (not John Boyega!) back to mine for a drink, I felt like a sexy cool independent 20-something woman. I didn't date much, and surprisingly, I had a great time with this hot, intelligent man.
I said no many times. He was strong. Eventually, I just stopped saying no and I left my body. I was used, over and over again.
Because I invited him in, it took me years before realising this was assault. I know many women who experienced this. I've found it so difficult to relate to "men" whilst I carry this immense fear in my body. I've looked for connection, but I've been afraid to make eye contact.
Creating artwork is a way for me to invite more love in my life. I'm releasing fear, moving in hope and this is why I'm sharing my art with you today.
