“Sophia’s Back” (ink & pencil, 8″x8″, by David Hayward)

Don’t say, “Oh, poor Sophia!” She doesn’t need anyone’s pity. She one strong female.

These are battle scars from a personal war she’s won. She’s liberated and liberal. She boasts about her wounds. She uses her tender but tough heart, her smart and sharp mind, and her prophetically pointed words to liberate others.

I love how you guys share your stories. It is very very evident to me that you all are like Sophia here. Strong survivors.
