Tell your story.
Shout it. Write it.
Whisper it if you have to.
But tell it.
Some won’t understand it.
Some will outright reject it.
But many will
thank you for it.
And then the most
magical thing will happen.
One by one, voices will start
whispering, ‘Me, too.’
And your tribe will gather.
And you will never
feel alone again. – L.R. Knost
*women’s stories and voices have been ignored. disbelieved, talked over and suppressed for so long, that telling, speaking, writing, blogging, gathering, sharing, talking, and TED-talking all matter; they support a new way forward, where women and girls, our lives and experiences, are made real by the sharing and telling. And by the believing.
In this way we are made stronger, less alone; made into community. A link below for a few TED talks, most under 20 minutes, on ‘modern feminism’, which is what – 3rd wave? 4th wave feminism? Sigh.
Whatever your story is, you and it matter. You are not alone. We’re all in this together, after all, even if some would like to preach against or deny it…
