NEVERTHELESS WE PERSISTED: ME TOO

An extensive cast of writers and narrators join together to perform this collection of heartrending essays and poetry created by survivors of sexual assault and abuse. With original music by Amanda Rose Smith, a wave of acceptance and love resonates in the chorus of voices united with the message that victims are not alone and their pain is valid and important. Some pieces are performed by their authors, commanding the listener's attention as they share their fear, pain, anger, and sadness. Other pieces are depicted by professional narrators delivering sincere, visceral performances. This mix of performances, filled with candor and authenticity, inspires listeners to join the chorus of voices that are demanding change. A.K.R.
