Brendas work with Dreamcatcher Dreamcatcher and victims was the focus of the Sundance Award Winning documentary dreamcatcher. Now leaving breezy street is the stunning account of brenda myers, powells brutal and beautiful. In prostitution. At the age of 15 with two baby daughter. She called herself breezy. She was tough. A survivor, every sense of the word and she begins her her authors note with respect. Thats how i lived my life. Im needing respect, demanding respect. And actually, thats how i got into a lot of trouble. I found myself. And she warns us that shes not trying to tell a story about her past. Using the careful words of right now, we need to know what she was hearing and what she was telling herself. Quote,
