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 every day 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.
Through humorous and passionate performances, Megan & Olivia shed light on issues such as street harassment, body image, rape culture and the perils of the patriarchy. SPEAK LIKE A GIRL will make you laugh, cry, and rally for change.
This is one of their best-loved poems.
