We are enormously grateful to all the people who granted interviews to shared their life stories with the Texas After Violence Project in 2009, and who sustained our work in in so many ways.
Special thanks to Sima Najma who came all the way from Wakefield and Leeds -- in West Yorkshire in northern England -- to bring moral and material support.
Thank you all!
