The Vagina post continued

I know it's over, but I just feel I have to add some to this

I talked to connie, she went for the performance and enjoyed it!! I know the content is edgy and risque and can scare people off. But if you look at the underlying message.... I mean i read thi book when i was fifteen....
The words are so meaningful and so powerful. So uplifting, inspiring.... it is a subject that goes beyond race, gender, religion, it is about HUMANITY. It is about lif e, it is about love and forgiveness, it is about mercy and strength and justice. About doing what is right, doing something that changes lives, that changes perspectives. It is not just about ending violence against women, it is for peace, for humanity for love for valuing yourself as individual.

It is about honesty, it is about being sex positive, about sharing about not being afraid of who you are. Vagina may be taboo, but on that night, it is anything BUT. A group of us girls banded together and worked on a project for nearly 2months, it was something we believed in, that your words and actions can change others, can change humanity. One monologue at a time.

Here is the excerpt of one monologue called : My vagina was my village ( i did the intro to this one)

My Vagina. A live wet water village . My vagina My hometown

Not since they took turns for seven days smelling like feaces and smoked meat, they left their dirty sperm inside me. I became a river of poison and all the crops died, the fish

My vagina a live wet water village
they invaded it. Butchered it. Burned it down
I do not touch now
Do not visit
I live someplace else now
I do not know where it is
