Terese Marie Mailhot quotes
Women, not all, but many, like seeing they aren't alone. My story is very common. I was abused. Mistreated. Hurt by men. I came up. Women resonate with that story because it's theirs sometimes.
Terese Marie Mailhot
Turning those revelations into art was a whole other thing...I did it, though - and that helped me realize my power, beyond the pain. Being able to illustrate those experiences for readers was a triumph, because it took everything to resist all the urges I have as a human being to present myself as good, or healed, or undamaged. I had to work against myself to make the memoir, and I ended up more empowered than I ever thought I could be.
Terese Marie Mailhot
I wanted to be at the apex of my story...For a long time, it felt as though things were happening to me. I felt as though I had no agency.
