I’m Mary, the intern at Girls Speak Out currently managing the blog aspect of this project. I decided to kick things off with one of my spoken-word poems. I do a lot of creative writing, but I’ve found that spoken-word offers me a forum for a strong, assertive voice I don’t always have in other genres. Because of this, I thought it would be a good example of my own efforts to “speak truth to power.”
