I could feel the weight of their stares, but I remained unfazed. Tonight was not just about reclaiming my identity but also about justice and self-respect.
As I approached the stage, my heart pounded with a mix of anxiety and excitement. The gala was in full swing, with glasses clinking and laughter echoing off the marble floors. But soon, my actions would bring this charade to a halt.
