"While watching Withlove Felicia's play, I felt the need to cry. As her story unfolded it occurred to me that she was telling a story very similar to mine. Seeing her share the journey from abuse to healing, I knew I could do it. I sought out help from our local women's center. It hasn't been an easy journey to healing. But for the first time I feel whole and aware. I thank the universe for guiding me to her show that night. I thank all the women who put it on. Especially Withlove Felicia " - Tracy
Your play gave me a reflection that I needed. Although I’ve never been shy with exposing my past, and because I do believe it heals to do so. It made me look at myself and how I react to certain things or perceive people who may not have been as strong. It allows empathy to those still struggling with what so many assume is common sense. Thank you for this. - Janine
My favorite part was the musical transitions. The song selections perfectly conveyed the cycle, the thoughts and the healing and those harmonies were lush and beautiful.
I also enjoyed the education about the cycle of abuse, its effects and the way that we don't know can hurt us. The way that silence about this form of domestic terrorism can hurt us. As a survivor and healer myself, education is sooooo important.- Paulissa
