I don't even want to say anything else, just check out the flyer! My excitement levels are SOARING right now! The show is booked, ready to go. We've got close to 100 people who have RSVP'd!
It's September 10th which means we're just at one month before the show, talk about countdown! I can't believe the time has flown by so quickly but it has and....I can't wait to have everyone take this journey with us. Over these past few days, talking to the cast, with friends, with my muse and other interested community folks I am reminded how important this event is. Queer women of color, black lesbians, brown lesbians, however you identify or label yourself....we are a community that has allowed people to silence us. The time is now for us to take that power back.
Someone asked me how could we, as individuals, stop domestic violence or fix what has already been done. I use this example because it is reflective of how we feel in general. How can I, as an individual, fix what has happened to YOU in your past? When we share our lives, our stories, our struggles and our victories with one another we realize we are not alone. I have a shared struggle with many of you who have experienced rape, domestic violence or sexual assault. When I can stand firm and tell you my story and push through tears I can possibly encourage you to do the same. We're sharing this struggle and healing together. THIS is how we help.
With Voices In Color, we are doing that. We're coming together as a community and helping heal and rebuild OUR community by sharing REAL stories!!
I look forward to seeing you October 12th! Come say HI and give me a HUG!
Peace, Kiki
