#whyididntreport I was afraid that my family wouldn’t believe me. I was afraid he would hurt me more. I was afraid people would see me differently. Till this day, it still hurts me.

#whyididntreport I did report it every single time (multiple different white men over the span of 2 years) and I was told “He just has a thing for black girls”

Because I was only 14 years old & was too afraid I’d get laughed at. You are not alone. If you do not feel comfortable speaking up about your own story, your experience & pain is still valid! 🤍❤️ #whyididntreport

#whyididntreport because I still blame myself. Most of the time I just try pretend that it never happened.
