I never imagined that a "zombie movie" would be the conduit for processing stored trauma nor the catalyst for an emotional release years in the making. The power of storytelling. It's truly remarkable. Creators, share your stories. They wield the power to change lives, timelines, & worlds.

True then, and still true today. “Before a revolution happens, it is perceived as impossible; after it happens, it is seen as having been inevitable.” - Rosa Luxemburg (1919)
Hey, friend - If you're having an a-HA moment, that's huge. Don't punish yourself for whenever that may be happening. The road ahead will be full of uncomfortable truths. You're not alone. Keep pushing forward. Others have forged this path & are still doing so. Watch, read, listen, learn from them.
