In this episode, I recount opening the door to sheriff’s officers as a child, facing eviction. We sat on the curb, desperately waiting for help.Later we moved to a dissembled community in Chicago.My mom’s absence left me vulnerable, sent to the store where a man preyed on me, starting with “help in the back” and escalating to touching my feet, lifting my shirt, dropping my pants. I froze, lost my voice, wearing baggy clothes to hide, rejecting pink for black, overwhelmed by touch. Signs went unseen, my mom ,a mother of four by the time she was 21, my siblings lost in their lives. I reflect on the lasting scars, disconnecting healthy touch from predatory, only finding safety with my kids. I wonder how many girls he targeted, how he knew my mom wasn’t around. No answers needed anymore, I stay away, listen to my intuition’s warnings. I’m Talkin To You , Im Talkin Me Too.
