Tomorrow is the annual Take the Lead public speaking competition at Brescia!
The girls who participate in Take the Lead are grade 11 and 12s who speak about women in leadership. I’m so incredibly excited! I’m working at the event as a timekeeper and tour guide, but the most gratifying role is being one of the alum of this ‘club’ of amazing girls!
It’s interesting to read what I wrote about Take the Lead after I participated two years ago. Here (..and Deb Matthews before she thought about possibly being Prime Minister lol)
Proud to now call Brescia my home.

➜The female body, the female orgasm, and female sexual happiness do not depend on men. It is something the woman owns. Black women, and other female bodied people, need to acknowledge that these myths about our sexuality do not need to negatively affect our personal sex lives. That kink you like? It’s okay. That aggression you want to express? It’s okay. No one needs to exist in a box, and your sexual expression does not need to be limited to the ideas attached to your gender expression (i.e. masculine presenting people can’t be passive, feminine presenting people can’t be aggressive or dominant).Cockiness, Female Dominance, and Queerness, The Untitled Mag

➜Rude girls aren’t the antithesis of feminism. They aren’t even a different form of feminism. I am hesitant to label women of color’s efforts to survive and carve a place in the world anything as flawed as feminism because things really just tend to be larger than the labels we give them. A rude girl is just the girl you need her to be, point blank. Get into her narcissism, her cockiness, her sex-positive approaches. Honey, really get into the way she tears down obstacles–with a little flair and whole bunch of attitude. Even if you can’t hang with her, you can hang with the way she handles her shit–because it’s the way we sometimes want to: open and blunt, with the tell-tale knowledge that she is, and will always be, the shit.

Project Unbreakable: Stories of Surviving Sexual Assault
“It’s time to talk about it,” is 20-year old Grace Brown’s message. “Sexual assault isn’t talked about. It’s time to talk about rape. We need to talk about it in elementary schools, and high schools, and middle schools, and we don’t. It’s not brought up.”
Her way of talking about rape is Project Unbreakable. Brown has a Nikon D90 DSLR camera and a desire to put the spotlight on a problem which is still too common. At high school, Grace had considered becoming a sexual assault counselor. In her last year at school, she began to take an interest in photography. “I went through a lot of guilt; photography was shallow in comparison to therapy,” she confesses. In her first year of college, Grace combined the two.

➜From the woman is our birth, in the woman’s womb are we shaped; To the woman we are engaged, to the woman we are wedded; The woman is our friend and from woman is the family; Through the woman are the bonds of the world; Why call woman evil who gives birth to the world’s leaders? From the woman is the woman, without woman there is none”.
(Guru Granth Sahib Ji, pp. 473)
- From her, Kings are born.

Male privilege is when my boy doesn’t like me wearing heels because he thinks it attracts the wrong attention - even though we’re both wearing what makes each us feel attractive and comfortable.
TOO bad, I just wear whatever I want like a BAMF
hahah xo

The power in a power couple comes from capitalizing each other’s individual strengths and being inspired to grow separately while together.
