"I'm so glad I was a participant at A&E workshops. Without really noticingit made me confront a lot of things I had been avoiding, such as the brutality of all the women of my mother's generation,
and how it continues to tear at my brothers and sisters, and how the bruises were never attended to in a real, whole way. I can tell you right now, it is opening a new path of recognition, cleansing and healing. I always wondered why I never had a picture of my mother visibly around the house. It was because it always hurt too much to look at her. Thank you for the vision and for the work." (A&E Participant from Guyana, 53 years) "Thanks for showing me how great it feels to write…I have written tons of new stuff…You would not believe the inspiration that those words bring to me and it is just encouragement to keep on writing, and that nothing is impossible.” (A&E Participant from Trinidad, 16 years) |
