As Promised: The Book is Underway

As promised, I’ve begun writing a nonfiction book about what happened to me — the truth behind the silence, the retaliation, and the choices that led me here.

This isn’t just a story about one workplace. It’s about the system that allowed it, the people who looked away, and the power of refusing to be quiet when it matters most.

I’m proud to share that the manuscript is already one-third complete. There’s so much to cover — from the initial red flags to the final breaking point - that I’ve decided to release the project as a short series. Each installment will focus on a different phase of the journey, so nothing is rushed, overlooked, or watered down.

I look forward to publishing the first book soon, and I’m writing every page with care, precision, and purpose - not just to document what happened, but to give voice to anyone who has ever been gaslit, retaliated against, or forced to choose between ethics and employment.

It’s not easy to relive it all, but it’s necessary. And once it’s in circulation, it can’t be taken back.
Not by them. Not by me. Not by anyone.

A lawsuit can be settled.

A blog can be deleted.

But, a published book lives forever.

This Is How They Responded

Not long after I raised this serious concern, I was called into a Google meeting with my direct supervisor and a high-ranking administrator.  But the issue I had flagged? They didn't even mention it.  I had to bring it up myself- calmly, professionally. They showed no intention of addressing it. Instead, the conversation quickly turned towards me. I was told that I appeared "unempathetic" and "unapproachable"- not to them, but to my students. No names. No specific examples. Just a vague criticism, dropped like a warning. I responded clearly, "My students reviews speak for themselves "  And in that moment, they backed off. The tone shifted. The accusation didn't hold- because it couldn't.  When I attempted to explain what had been happening with the two students in question- facts I had written down- they interrupted me. I wasn't angry or emotional. I was prepared. They didn't want to hear it. My supervisor then added something else: tha...

The Truth Will Not Be Silenced

The article went live. It named the company. It told the truth. And just like that — it was gone. WNY News Now published a professional, factual piece about what happened to me at Venture Forthe. It exposed how I was given a sex toy to use in a medical training class, how I objected, and how I was retaliated against until I had no choice but to leave. The article explained my story clearly — and it showed the public what I’ve been saying all along. It was up long enough to be seen, shared, reacted to, and commented on. And then, without warning, it disappeared. No explanation. No correction. Just wiped from the site. But here’s the thing: removing the article won’t erase what happened to me. They might be able to silence one post, but they can’t silence me . I’ve documented everything. I have screenshots. Timelines. Emails. I’ve filed complaints. I’ve kept records. I’ve told the truth from day one. And I’m not backing down. I’m not waiting for anyone else to speak for me. I’ll ke...

Retaliation Continues as I Attempt to Record the Past

This morning  I sat down to continue my timeline. Specifically, a black-out incident that occurred earlier in April.  Instead,  I encountered something new... I logged into my Paylocity account to check my recent pay stub and was met with a red message: "Account is Inactive." No notice. No explanation. No alternative access provided. I haven't received a termination letter, and I constructively discharged myself on 5/22/25, after months of retaliation. Regardless of how employment ends, employers are legally required to provide access to wage records and tax documentation.  I immediately sent a formal request to HR with a screenshot of the lockout. I was just trying to continue telling my story. But this story keeps writing itself. --K
