It's Gender Day at COP27.
In the UK, at least, there seems to be a misogynistic backlash against women who are participating in climate actions. Have you ever felt pushback as a woman in the climate movement?
Because if we don't succeed, what does it mean? It means the erasure of our generation following generations. It means that there isn't much left for all of us. But what I'm trying to say is yes, I face backlash every day. And I also face the pain of every day of knowing that even if I do get to speak truth to power now, there is a buffer zone between when you speak truth to power and power actually acts where you lose people.Yeah.
So I see poetry as a tool, it's an art of protest, but it's an artful protest in that it allows you to really truly connect with the other person, and it makes the person see you. And I think that's what's important about spoken word poetry specifically, it's written to be heard, and it's written in a way where you can't separate the art from the artist.
