Me Too Loud & Clear: How I Walked the Talk from Silence to Active Hope.

By Dany Lyne

As an artist, I say ME TOO to anyone game to witness my truth. As a daughter and granddaughter, I say ME TOO to all my extended family and ancestors. As a therapist, I say ME TOO to all my clients. And to all of you survivors, I say ME TOO Loud and Clear because let's face it, the path from silence to active hope is still under construction. I live to tell the tale of my spiralling quest to get out from under the black wing of sexual abuse and the mind-fuck of hiding my truth from myself for twenty-five years. I thrive despite betrayal, violence, around-the-clock art, hilarious ballroom dancing despots, a relationship from hell and whatever else. It's not until the age of thirty-one when my memories of sexual abuse surfaced that the mythology of my "perfect" and rather flamboyant childhood collapsed in a heap of brittle yet threatening rattlesnakes. A lone white flower left standing in a field of manure, I tell the tale of three generations of women-grandmother, mother, daughter-sharing the same perpetrators against the backdrop of the Catholic and economic oppression of the French patrimoine in Canada. Sometimes staggering, always rambunctious, the journey described in this book Illuminates the tragedy of the intergenerational cycle of violence and silence.Witness the transformational power of remembering, speaking up and healing.
