Vorige maand schreef Alyssa de onderstaande bericht gericht aan haar dochter Bella, waarin ze aangeeft dat ze hoopt dat zij nooit te maken krijgt met seksuele intimidatie.
Dear Elizabella,
I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much I love you and to thank you for inspiring me every single day to be the best mommy—and the best person—I can possibly be. I want you to understand just how deeply you’ve impacted not only my life, but also the lives of millions of women across the world. And you’re only three years old.
The past year has been incredibly challenging. Donald Trump is our president (crazy, I know) and he has created a culture of crisis. We are fighting on multiple fronts to protect our rights, and to topple those systems in place that protect and promote bigotry and discrimination.
You, my sweet Bella, are one of the reasons I’m deeply engaged in this fight and am committed to changing the status quo.
