Wow! I have heard of the Vagina Monologues, but thought it was a "Shock Factor" thing and did not really understand its' premise. I am overwhelmed and saddened by allowing myself to fully embrace violence against women and suffering around the world. Although I have been fully aware mentally, we seem to disconnect amidst the business and busyness of day to day life. However, seeing this caused me to realize the connection to these issues that I have being a woman, having two daughters, and the power and synergy of individuals who have chosen to connect and heal while helping and protecting others. I think these conversations are a way of seizing opportunities for women to speak up and speak out. It was empowering.
