Fotos: Selbstliebe ohne Kompromisse

“I have always separated myself from my body since childhood for emotional & physical sanity. Sexual, and verbal abuse & rejection due to racism as a child by people, and children I trusted, and by an authority figure. All directed to my body. No interest in my spirit or how it would affect me. I had to go through court room humiliation for it as a young child. Again I found my light, and separation of body and spirit necessary. Each time separating further. I was born with physical anomalies caused from environmental toxins my mother worked around while she picked tomatoes in The San Joaquin Valley, she was pregnant with me at the time. I grew up having surgeries while I was young, to fix my spine and pelvis. Born partial spinal bifada, linked to pesticides. A victim of environment? Contracted hepatitis C during one of my spinal surgeries because I needed a transfusion , which is what ultimately caused the liver cancer.”
