2 jill December 12, 2008 at 11:07 am: Unless you meant first names? Michelle and Catzie.
3 Cara December 12, 2008 at 11:19 am: Ah, thank you Jill! I thought that was like the name of the tv show or segment when it popped up with that graphic!
4 Melissa December 12, 2008 at 11:36 am: That was badass — thanks, I needed some of that this morning.
5 Lyndsay December 12, 2008 at 1:29 pm: Ha, after I watched this I heard a radio host say something about getting girls a play kitchen for Christmas and can’t train them too early and then really wanted to make a being a woman rant.
6 Crystal December 12, 2008 at 5:09 pm: I can’t see anything there. :(

9 Renee December 13, 2008 at 1:05 pm: Yeah when I saw this video I could not help but applaud, talk about truth telling. I learned a lot about some of the ideas that I have been walking around with as well.
10 Alida December 14, 2008 at 11:41 am: After watching this video, I spent at least another hour watching “related videos” on youtube, all from Def Poetry.
What an amazing show. I definitely recommend checking out some of the other videos.
Really powerful spoken word from men and women alike. Some people I had heard of, some I’d love to hear more about now.
