​"I’m sharing these stories for anyone who has ever felt unseen, disconnected, or like they never truly belonged anywhere. I felt that way for the first half of my life, but I’m here to show you that you don’t need to continue feeling lost and alone. I’ve found compassion for the echoes of my past that come up now and again. I’ve walked back through the hardest and most painful parts of my life to find peace and equilibrium in my present. I’ve found forgiveness for myself and my family for all the horrors we experienced together. Most importantly, I’ve found love and respect for myself."  -Tawnya

"Tawnya Williams has shared a powerful and riveting truth telling of survival and resilience. This is a personal narrative about survival via awakening, willingness and creativity in the face of generations of oppression, mental illness, dispossession and familial dysfunction. A very raw and personal telling of the complexity of working with the system "health -care" and the psychologizing/ pathologizing that our current cultural paradigm places on the individual, ignoring the collective trauma we are swimming in. This is a story of the complexities of betrayal and love, of breaking apart and finding love again. A generous offering for the collective."
