I Wake Up Every Day And I

When You Listen To Other Women’s Stories, You Begin To Understand Your Own Better, And You Begin To Find Ways Back Through And With Each Other.

I Wake Up Every Day And I Think, 'i'm Breathing! It's A Good Day.'

Dancing Insists We Take Up Space, And Though It Has No Set Direction, We Go There Together. Dance Is Dangerous, Joyous, Sexual, Holy, Disruptive, And Contagious And It Breaks The Rules. It Can Happen Anywhere, At Anytime, With Anyone And Everyone, And It's Free. Dance Joins Us And Pushes Us To Go Further And That Is Why It's At The Center Of One Billion Rising.

I Think The Greatest Illusion We Have Is That Denial Protects Us. It's Actually The Biggest Distortion And Lie. In Fact, Staying Asleep Is What's Killing Us.
