I am a survivor, and now I dance with one billion rising because I recognize my value and worth as a woman and human being. Now I dance so that my children can see what it means to grow up free of sexual abuse and domestic violence. That my sons may know the strength behind non violence, and my daughter will recognize her worth in the way we all celebrate one another. Today I stand up, today I dance, today I ensure it stops for my family right here and right now.
