Dismissed, Never Deterred

Dear truth-holder,
You didn’t imagine the harm.
You didn’t overreact.
You weren’t “too sensitive.”
You saw something that mattered, and "they" didn’t want you to.
Whether you were pushed out, ghosted, defunded, demoted, or simply worn down until you left… this letter is for you.
You are not alone in what you noticed.
You are not wrong for how you responded.
And you are not too late to begin again.
This Companion Packet wasn’t built to explain what happened.
It was built to honor what still matters- what still lives in you.
There is a map here. A rhythm.
​
A few soft pages to write yourself back into the story—
not the system’s story, but yours.
You don’t need to build a platform.
You don’t need to become a brand.
You only need a place to put what you know.
We hope you'll make this page that place.
We’re so glad you found your way here.
-From the Grove
