Too Big For My Skin - The Campaign
Hello - I'm writing to invite you to be a part of The Too Big For My Skin Campaign. Many of you have probably heard my poem by the same name. But "Too Big for My Skin" is not just a poem. With the help of BFresh there is now a video for the poem. We are working to build an international campaign that invites people to leave responses to the video in the comment section or to submit their very own video response.
It's about positive body image, acceptance and strength.
It's about finding your voice and speaking.
Join us in the campaign.
More is to come! We are planning on expanding the project to include interviews with the women in the video. A group of women from Loyola University have already taken the title as their theme for the year.
The word is spreading. Send it along to others who you feel may benefit from seeing and hearing the words.
I am hoping to tour the video and do workshops in correlation with the video and well as performances and Q&A. So, if anyone is interested in this please contact me: desdamona4@aol.com
Thanks!
