Lakyshia says this book was written to reach out to the young generation coming up. I want everyone to know that I really do understand what you may be going through, even if I didn’t personally experience your particular situation. I have family members and friends that I’ve witnessed in situations as such. I’m not here to judge you, and it’s not about you being a victim. It’s about your story. I want to be the voice to speak for those who can’t or won’t speak for themselves because they are too scared.
I’m here to tell you that I love you and have your back. Speak up and speak out! Please save someone else from going through a similar situation and left to feel alone because so many tend to not believe their story. It doesn’t matter if they won’t listen, tell someone else because you will eventually come across a person like me who’s willing to listen and do something about it!
