Audacity indeed.
I very much want to see Precious. I have heard nothing but good things. Push is an incredible book and it sounds like the film does it justice. And I absolutely love Gabby Sidibe, who plays the lead role. What I don’t love is the media narrative about the film and about Sidibe. Luckily, she [...]

The goal is to eventually create a patchwork mural of hundreds of works of art by sexual violence survivors to travel and serve as a reminder of the impact of sexual violence.

SPEAK! by the SPEAK! Women of Color Media Collective (Liquid Words Productions) When I first listened to SPEAK!, the spoken word collection put out by the SPEAK! Women of Color Media Collective, I shied away from reviewing it. I was too biased, I worried. I couldn’t be objective. Some of the contributors read (and have [...]
