Part 1: They Tried To Keep Me Small... It Didn't Work.
"There is a particular kind of cruelty that doesn't look like cruelty. It looks like love." 🌒
This is where Follin's Journey begins.
Part 1 is the story of a woman who lived in a village that was never unkind — and that was the problem. Every smiling face, every familiar doorway, every well-meaning voice told her she had everything she needed right where she was.
She knew better.
This chapter is also where I tell you a little about myself, about being made small by people who said they loved me, silenced by people who said they were protecting me, and what it took to finally stop apologizing for the power I had carried all along.
If you have ever been told to take up less space by family, by faith, by lovers, by healers, by a culture that benefits from your silence... then this story is for you.
Walk with us. The journey is already unfolding. 🔥
They Tried to Keep Me Small… It Didn't Work"
