SAY HER NAME: Poetess Aja Monet On POLICE BRUTALITY AGAINST BLACK WOMEN

from the Huffington Post

There is no mountain top worth seeing without us
-Aja Monet  

Miriam Carey, Yvette Smith, Natasha McKenna and  TaneshaAnderson

That evening, she’d read it at a vigil...practicing on camera, surprised by the power of her own words.
