How I Met My Mother

I have gotten to know her growing up, but I remain blind to many things.

I have spent quite a bit of time in Boston this weekend talking about my gender violence work and how I feel personally connected to it. Whether it was friends, colleagues, or loved ones, I was compelled by knowing of these women’s lives to shed light on broader gender dynamics that cause shock but not action resulting from violence against women. I would like to share an “aha” moment which caused me to step back and deal with a reality I had neglected.
