This stencil was originally cut out after closely witnessing a black woman be assaulted at my hometown. For several reasons, including fear, I did not take this protest to the streets at the time. It ended up being kept in the back of a drawer for two years when I finally saw the opportunity to talk – through art – about the various forms of violence that we – as women – suffer, whether physical or mental.
