When I started this account, I had every intention to be anonymous. I didn’t want to put my life or my family’s life in danger. But I surprised myself at how quickly I changed my mind. Almost immediately I was bombarded with vicious, incessant, and barbaric hate from Muslims AND their useful idiots. But I was also bombarded with messages of gratitude and support. People in Somalia and Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Pakistan were so happy that I was in the free world and that I could be their voice. They made me feel ashamed that I had tried to stay anonymous. How could I? I was privileged to be able to speak. I had to honor that gift. And then something weird happened. Once I decided that I would speak freely, I couldn’t stop if I tried. It wasn’t a slow drip, it was a tsunami. All those years of re-routing my thoughts, biting my tongue, performing mental gymnastics- I released myself from it all with such intensity and relief, like shedding an old and rotten skin. And I finally felt truly FREE. I would speak up for myself and others. I would tell the truth when they lied. I had so much to say. So many years of unspoken words spilled out day after day. I wrote my book @Unveiledxx and released it all. I vomitted it all on to the pages. Cleansed myself of carrying all that darkness in my mind and body. I didn’t know if anyone would ever read my tweets or my book, but it was healing and cathartic for me even if no one else cared. But here we are. My book translated into 17 languages and my account with 200K followers. You did care to listen. Thank you. From a girl whose face was wrapped in black cloth and who was silenced and told her voice was shameful, thank you for hearing me 🤍
