I am a deep sleeper. I guess males see a great opportunity to rape young girls. That’s what I thought back then.

One of my male relative tried to force himself on me. Remember, I was six! I didn’t know what he was doing but I surely knew that I didn’t like it. Not even one bit.

I remember screaming and my aunt came with my grandmother to the room. They told him to get off me, because I was making noise. They saw nothing wrong with what he was doing but that I was making noise. I was shuttered.

As frightened as I was, I slept again. I then overhead them speaking in the next room. “Did she understand what was happening?” “No. She won’t even remember. She’s still young.”
