#BeyondSilence there is power, there is justice, there is healing, there is victory. I stand here today celebrating myself for surviving rape and abuse and terror.
I took my power back and so can you!
Never let anyone silence you!
To 19 years of living with HIV🥂🎊… pic.twitter.com/fRcKrqZxi0— Thembisile Q (@Thembisile_Q) November 30, 2023
