I never thought I'd be here -- living out of my car after a wealthy family's scam stripped me of my home of 13 years. I was even threatened with deportation if I dared to speak the truth. But the most dehumanizing part? During a proposed settlement, I was told that because I am a foreigner with multiple passports, I was considered a "flight risk." The condition: I would have to give up my embryo stem cells -- cells I had already won the right to keep in 2019 for any possible disability treatment. Think about that. They tried to weaponize my disability, my identity, and my medical rights against me. This was after a hard won battle in with geneticists writing to the court in 2019 to advocate for me This isn't just my fight. This is about human rights, dignity, and the abuse of power. No one should ever be forced to surrender their medical rights, their body, or their future as part of the "price" of a settlement. One day I will see justice. Until then, I'll keep lifting the lid on these practices -- because silence is exactly what abusers count on.
