Incredible Spoken Word Addressing Womanhood And Sex Abuse

[Kintsugi]

This is on my mobile so I can't directly upload a video, but here is a YouTube vid of Stacyann Chin, a Jamaican writer and spoken word artist, with a reading of an except plus a spoken word poem that is fantastic and moving. Please be aware that it is very powerful, and to men, please be aware it contains a lot of menstruation discussion. Like a lot.

Stacyann Chin is an incredibly powerful voice for women. I love everything I've seen her do. It would be amazing to see her perform her works live. I hope to do that some day.

The last piece she does in this video makes me tingle and weep. Placing the blame where it belongs is often so hard to do. Thank you posting this. It was a little serendipitous. I hope others find it moving and freeing as well.

Yes, the end of this absolutely brought tears to my eyes, and it wasn't sadness. It was more like an emotional rush.

I am a writer and I hope to be able some time to share this with my mother, because I hope she will see the power lent here.
