On being called names: The recent turn of events in my life have shocked me. It has been overwhelming and unsettling for me also. I was probably prepared for everything. But I wasn’t prepared for this. This has brought about a different side of our society.

Because for way too long, we women are refusing to accept ourselves.[/tps_footer]
