I was 16 years old when I attended my first Take Back the Night march. It blew the lid off my little hillbilly brain and made me feel something I had never felt before. I didn’t have a word for that feeling then, but I have come to know it as empowerment. Marching in solidarity with a swarm of women, chanting and yelling about how we won’t be raped and beaten, opened my eyes to something I had never been told before: that women are strong. That I am strong. I have felt that very distinct feeling of awe and empowerment every march since then (with the exception of a couple years when I lived out of the state). I am in my thirties now, and last year I was able to share the experience with my 1-year-old daughter, who rode along in her stroller.
