4 years ago, Mel and I decided to sue Riot. We were fed up. The process was hard. It took a lot out of us. The suit got bigger and bigger. It turned into a class action. It involves more and more women. We had to tell our stories over and over and over along the way.

Now, finally, the settlement has been approved. 1500 women will get a tiny piece of what we’re owed for the systemic abuse we were subjected to. I’m relieved it’s over and angry at how long it took.
