Last fall a creative and courageous friend of mine called upon her artistic friends to put together a zine and pop art show to raise awareness and money for Planned Parenthood. The theme of the art was synonyms for “pussy.” (Her co-curator and she got the idea from a Dan Savage podcast.)
Oh, and she did all of this while working full-time and raising her two sons. Her power awes and frightens me.
It’s been half a year since the show and already weeks after the one year anniversary of the Women’s March. I, much less impressively, am finally getting posting this to let her, all of the artists, and all the women I call friends how humbling it is to know them, as well as how grateful I am that I do.
Women, we’ve nothing to be ashamed of and so much to be proud of.
