Name

Northern Michigan poet and journalist Name exposed her employment contract from company to the elements, letting go as her signature became one with the water. Name worked as the marketing manager of a tech startup hub for entrepreneurs called company in City, State, from Date to Date. On Date following a professional dinner with company board member Name and his son Board Member's Son (a co-worker from the company co-working space), Board Member's Son drugged and raped Name for approximately an hour while she was mostly unconscious. Board Member's Son had sexually harassed Name in the office throughout her employment at company and he sexually assaulted her Date. In addition to reporting his crimes to every level of law enforcement in the United States, Name reported Board Member's Son to her boss Boss (former company executive director) in his office Date, was told to leave the premises, and was forced to resign from her job while Board Member's Son continued to work there. The perpetrator then sued Name for defamation in the County Court abusing her "legally" through re-traumatizing litigation for over a year (beginning at the onset of the global pandemic). Board Memberand Board Member's Son’s attorney Attorney Name (who represented sexual predator Convicted Perpetrator Name and is representing the City police officer who murdered Survivor Name as well as company) forced Name into a fraudulent settlement that silenced her and awarded the perpetrator $30,000 for his crimes (framed as his “damages”), human trafficking Name through America's "justice" system. Years after raping Name, despite her continual reports to police, company, advocacy groups, and public statements about his terrifying abuse, Board Member's Son still works at company, now for U.S. Government Employee, in addition to working with the Organization. Name is demanding justice, sharing her voice and creative spirit to reach it. To all survivors of sexual violence and those who experience misogyny, harassment, retaliation in the workplace, or any discrimination, who are told over and over that they're crazy or to accept what happened as okay, know you're not crazy—because it's not okay.
