Havana Club

I thought I lost myself

But tonight

In this red-lit bar

Full of soft chairs and soft spoken people

And music to dance to in the background

Named after the Havana Club

I’m myself again

And I sip my French 75

And I find myself.

I am an attorney and a writer in Austin, Texas. I provide legal aid for survivors of sexual assault through the non-profit organization I work for. I am an avid sharer of women's stories and I share this passion through my newly published blog, DifficultNames.com, which covers everything from poetry to wellness tips to style to opinion pieces. My hope is to bring women together through shared experiences.
