CW: sexual assault

I wrote “The Witch" as a meditation on what it means to survive, as Toni Morrison says “sometimes not whole, but in part”. I try to follow her advice to be as fearless as one can under completely impossible circumstances. It’s always felt like both: you are more than what was done to you, and what was done to you changed you forever and permanently altered who you might’ve been. The grief is unending. 

I filmed this video about how Chanel Miller's memoir Know My Name shaped my lyrics just days before the Cornell case hit the news. Watching it back now, as the same story plays out yet again, gets me tearful. 

Thank you @rayoncitymaterials  @benplotnickfiddle for lending such care to this alternate version of the song.
