The Creeper 'Keepers'

Just finished "The Keepers." If you're looking to have any faith you have in humanity completely erased then I highly recommend watching. 

Horrors aside I will say this: The survivors' ability to persevere is truly inspiring. And if you've never endured a Baltimore accent, this one's a keeper!

Woman Shares Details of Rape Via Social Media

Activist live blogged the harrowing details about her RAPE on social media minutes after the alleged violent sexual assault took place to set an example for other survivors 

-- Amber Amour, 27, from New York was in Cape Town, South Africa, for her 'Stop Rape. Educate' campaign when she was raped in a shower 

--The activist took to Instagram to write about the alleged rape and post a picture of herself crying in the shower after the sexual assault 

-- She also shared photos of her rape kit and screen grabs of the hateful messages she received that blamed her for her sexual assault

I feel awful for this young woman. No one deserves to be raped -- not even if your rapist is drunk and keeps coming on to you, then after you kiss then rebuff him you agree to take a shower with him. Ironically, it turns out the victim was in town to promote her rape-education program, which she started after having been raped before. The article doesn't say what happened in that case, but I'm guessing she got invited to play a game of naked Twister at a frat house -- sponsored by Crisco -- and something went awry. Stay strong, girl. And keep speaking your truth.
