We shared our own hilarious, horror, and honest vagina stories. We came from an array of academic backgrounds; journalism, neuroscience, philosophy, and some undecided. These girls were so in-tune with themselves, their sexualities and their roles as strong women.
I performed Beat, a monologue about male-to-female transgenders. It was a heavy piece and I was worried I wouldn't be able to do the original cast's stories justice, but the four of us did an incredible job. My mum travelled the five hours to support me in the performance and was moved by each of the powerful pieces.
The 2012 Vagina Monologues are underway and I am looking forward to performing The Women Who Loved To Make Vaginas Happy - although I am dying of nervousness if my mum finds herself in the audience!
If you have a minute, read-up on some of the Vagina Monologues! It's a great way to bring awareness to violence against women, while raising money to help build sexual assault centers and safe places for victims in developing countries.
