Poetry Reading for Denim Day

Denim Day is recognized internationally as a day of action and awareness in which people are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual assault. Read more about Denim Day 2024 here.

This April, I was invited to write and read a poem as a tribute to sexual assault victims and survivors. I read my poem, A Few Moments of Softness to a crowd of students, faculty, and staff at Montclair State University, in collaboration with the Office for Social Justice & Diversity.
