This is a long due post. I have blogged before about the only person in this world who I can call my best friend. I had met her when I was about 3 years old, and since the time that I knew what a best friend means, she was the one. We were inseparable. I …
The Amber Heard-Johnny Depp Trial is a shameful win of misogyny. In a society which is already unequal for women, and survivors of abuse go through hell to get justice, we did not need this!
