Pro-Choice Poetry Slam

. . . I’m going to leave you with a stunningly excellent pro-choice poetry slam called “What We Deserve.” It’s from the 2006 International World Poetry Slam Finals and by Sonya “The Drama” Boom Renee. I had to watch it twice, and was almost in tears towards the end, the second time around. For those of you who have been commenting today that all the recent bad news is getting you down, know that you’re not the only one who’s angry!

Well that was awesome on several levels. Thanks. And kudos on the guest-blogging at feministing!
That was brilliant!! All the hypocrisy condensed into just a few minutes.
OMG! Her rage is universal woman!!
But as bad as it is here, it’s far worse elsewhere. Far worse. We can’t ask the Afghan woman who was executed in a soccer field in Kabul for “adultery”.
Absolutely amazing and completely inspiring.
It gives me the chills everytime…
