When I was finally released from these
"convents" filled with medieval madness, a
kaleidoscope of tortured memories would
spin in my head...the entire experience was
so bizarre that there was no sense that
could be made out of it ...one cannot make
sense out of evil ...Then I came upon the
movie The Magdalene Sisters and there
was my life in a movie ...It was then that I
realized there was nothing random about
any of this ...this was ORGANIZED
ABUSE across the board ...I woke in the
middle of the night last year and it all
became very clear to me ...the
greed, the corruption, the story ....and I
got up and wrote I AM THE VOICE....The
Magdalene Laundries/Good Shepherd
Convents were here in America and it is a
part of our history that has been kept in
the dark...NOT ANY LONGER ...Girls,
young women being locked away is not
acceptable ...it is an OUTRAGE ....our
babies were taken ...this is not acceptable
...it is an OUTRAGE ...I am putting a
shout out to any girl/woman who was
"sent" to one of these places to please step
into the LIGHT and join us ...Your
experience is a part of all of our
experiences ...we need your voice to make
this happen ...We need all of you ...RISE
UP WITH US ....SILENT NO MORE ...
