Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung

Spoken Word
Poetry speaks to me. The words flowing, the metaphors, the similes, the imagery, and the way it makes someone feel is powerful. I'm very big and serious when it comes to mental health and sexual assault/harassment given that I've been through it. In the society we live in today and in many cultures there's a negative stigma when we talk about any of it. People are scared to bring to light and acknowledge that these are serious problems. Many cultures normalize sexual assault/harassment and because of it many lives are broken. The one important thing about these two things is that it can happen to anyone, but it primarily happens to women. When it comes to a mental health disorder anyone can have one- young or old, black or white. These especially have been occurring in colleges and sadly there has been a scandal at my college, John Jay College of Criminal Justice. It's a universal problem. These are all universal problems.
