Description of book

VOICES: a sacred sisterscape, spearheaded by Grammy-nominated poet aja monet (When The Poems Do What They Do), is an audio experience of stories written by, narrated by, and centering Black women across the diaspora. It encourages radical listening for the sake of connection, compassion, and community and celebrates the interior lives Black women embody. “We seek to encourage and establish a culture that fosters radical truth-telling love & solidarity,” —aja monet, Artistic Creative Director, Voices at V-Day.

Presented by V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against all women, gender expansive people, girls, and the Earth, VOICES is an interdisciplinary performance art project and campaign grounded in Black women’s stories brought to life.

Founded by the Tony Award–winning playwright of The Vagina Monologues, V (formerly Eve Ensler), V-Day has unleashed vast grassroots, anti-violence work on college campuses and in communities—visionary work that has been survivor-led and focused, all the while revealing the power of art and activism to change culture and systems. V-Day campaigns include One Billion Rising, City of Joy, the Beyond Incarceration Project, Dismantle Patriarchy Contest, and now VOICES.
