I’m going, to be honest readers this is not an easy topic for me to talk about but I only felt like it was right for me to talk about since I had personally been dealing with it since my first semester in college and on top of it I’m still dealing with it. I’m making it my mission by telling my story that it will help others find the courage to stand up for themselves and to take action to help others.
The incident that was the final straw for me and motivated me to get an overdrive for my cause. On March 7th, 2018 a nasty note was slipped under my door saying “Perri is a fat ass Pig!!!” on a pink index card. When I came across the note all of my emotions hit me like a ton of bricks went from being angry to disgust with the childish behavior of the note from wanting to open up a big can of whoop-ass on whoever did it. Instead, I just took the logical steps and told one of the trusted RA’s that I knew and went from there. Oh Boy, I wish the childishness had stopped there but it didn’t if it was already embarrassing for me already they made it worst by typing the note saying “Perri I’m sorry for sliding that note under your door, not and signed it with their initials. That’s when it hit me that I need to do something to help put an end to immature things like this. I have come with the idea of wanting to mentor young people who are also have been experiencing this to help them by encouraging, uplifting, being there for them and also letting them know that “ They had been wonderfully and beautifully made.” I’m taking this mission of mines very seriously because it hits home hard for me because I ’ve dealt with fat shaming and bullying all throughout my school career and I’m ready to put end to it by doing something Positive that I know is going to help myself and others as well.
