With support from the women in Nia, I decided to take white belt and realized that I could come back into my body. That I did not have to stay out of my body, That I was safe coming back to myself,That I could love my body again,The connection was madeThat it is safe for me to be in my body and to love myself, That I can express my true feelingsThat I can sound and tell my truth
