I Am Not the Story You Erase is a spoken word piece rooted in truth, survival, and refusal.

This is not a performance built for comfort.
It is a voice that will not be rewritten, softened, or dismissed.

Through direct language and lived experience, this piece confronts the realities too often ignored—military sexual trauma, systemic silence, and the harm of reducing women who serve to labels that erase their humanity and service.

It speaks from the body that carried it.
From the voice that refused to stay quiet.
From the truth that has been documented, written, and spoken—again and again.

This is a declaration of sovereignty.

I served.
I survived.
I spoke.

And I will not be erased.
