Ten Voices Project

My friend Kathy created an awesome Kickstarter project , and asked me to be a part of it. It ends tonight , so there's not much time to contribute. But I'd really love it if you'd do so. Here's a guest post from Kathy, explaining why she created the project. She's says some honest, beautiful things here. Enjoy. On the fear of being unheard and hurt by: Kathy West My greatest fear is that no one will hear me. I face this fear in small doses: with my three-year-old who ignores my instructions, or at night when I want to stay up and talk but my husband wants to sleep, or in large groups where my stories are too long and my voice doesn’t carry. My quiet, quiet voice. But I’ve never been unheard in a dangerous way, a violent way. I know someone who has. A friend shared with me vague stories that seemed full of anxiety. Average conversations felt loaded with fear. Until I realized that over months, I’d been hearing about my friend’s abusive relationship.
