The pop superstar just revealed that back in December, she was invited to speak with Congress members in the hopes of helping others going through a similar experience.

In the letter written by Congress members Charlie Crist and Eric Swalwell, they congratulated Britney on gaining her freedom following the termination of her 13-year conservatorship under her father, Jamie Spears.
The duo requested that Britney meet with them to share how she “achieved justice” to help “empower others” and make a change in the conservatorship system.
Britney shared the entire letter on Instagram, explaining how touched she was that members of Congress had reached out to her.
“I received this letter months ago … An invitation to share my story … I was immediately flattered and at the time I wasn’t nearly at the healing stage I’m in now,” Britney wrote.

She continued, “I’m grateful that my story was even ACKNOWLEDGED 🙏 !!! Because of the letter ✉️, I felt heard and like I mattered for the first time in my life !!!”
Britney added that “in a world where your own family goes against you,” it’s often difficult to find people that get it and “show empathy.”

“I’m not here to be a victim although I’m the first to admit I’m pretty messed up by it all … I want to help others in vulnerable situations, take life by the balls and be brave 💪 !!!” Britney said.
She went on, “I wish I would have been … I was so scared and nothing is worse than your own family doing what they did to me.”

“In the mean time thank you to Congress for inviting me to the White House,” Britney concluded.
