The actress painted a harrowing image of everyday anxieties, asking her audience to imagine scenarios where a daughter calls to say she is being followed by men, walks home alone looking over her shoulder, or faces a dying phone battery before reaching safety. “From sharing her live location, to carrying pepper spray, to booking a cab instead of walking, or calling someone just to feel safer — we have forced her to make this her lifestyle,” Sanon expressed in her post.
