Let’s stand with Megan Thee Stallion and all Survivors of gun violence.
**Let me be clear about something. Because this is a different day.**
We live in a world where platforms and people are often paid to have a particular position.
Where loyalty can be bought.
Where truth is too often sold to the highest bidder.
But they don’t print enough currency for me to betray what I know in my soul.
They could never pay me enough to pretend.
I will not rent out my convictions.
In all my decades of doing this work, I have stood—firm and unapologetic—beside victims and Survivors,
even when we disagreed on nearly everything else in life.
Because safety is not something you earn by being agreeable.
It is a human right.
It is sacred.
I don’t take money to stand up for victims.
I don’t will not be paid to protect truth.
I do this work because it is who I am—not a position I perform.
My allegiance is to safety.
To dignity.
To liberation.
To Survivors.
Always.
