I Gave Birth To Twins At 15 After being raped

At 15 years old trying hard to find path which  lead to a rape  by my employer,all she had to show for it  was her twin  birthed 9 month after the incident that  occurred 21 Years Ago....

 

She said ....

"I Hid behind the childhood abuse, layers and layers of Rejection, often criticized, broken, bruised, I refused to be a statistic and..

became the standard to many more young men and women who would be battered, abused.... TODAY.... the evening and the morning and it’s the 21st Birthday of my sons. Everything has changed since the blood."

 

And later wish her twins 

"Happy Birthday Dada and Kankan"

IF I were allowed a choice of my battles, I would have chosen simpler conflicts but no, this life chose me and I will live it fully. 

 

I have made a lot of mistakes but each time I look at both of you, I knew I did the right thing to keep you even when I didn’t know just how.

 

She also advised every single teenage mother and young once 

...To every single teenage mom, to every young person who has been themed a mistake and misfit... here I stand your validation that “No one and nothing has the power to define who you become but you!” 

 

Choose what you will and desire to be.. well.

 

.....to thousands of young men and women around Africa and the world who would be raped, battered, abused and denied a fair hearing just because they see us as kids. 

 

You are not voiceless, you won’t forever be hushed. They will hear us.

 

You are bruised and beautiful.
