Speak Like A Girl Workshop and Performance

SPEAK LIKE A GIRL is an hour-short, interactive, feminist show that uses spoken word as a tool to educate students about gender inequality.

Through poetry, performance, and dialogue, SPEAK LIKE A GIRL shatters shame around sexual assault, body image issues, and abusive relationships with unparalleled candor. The show challenges audiences to consider the nuances of rape culture by unearthing patriarchal reinforcements of it in our everyday lives — from video games to cartoons, from pop culture to marriage proposals. SPEAK LIKE A GIRL aims to make those who have been affected by gendered violence feel seen, heard, and validated, and for those who have not experienced sexism to feel enraged and hell-bent on reform. The ideas sparked from this one hour entertaining lecture have the ability to change the conversation on college campuses, making them a safer space.
