Sarah Kay – If I should have a daughter…
In March, 2011, Sarah Kay did an inspirational TED Talks presentation.
Since the age of 14, she has been a spoken word poet and founded Project V.O.I.C.E. (Vocal Outreach Into Creative Expressions). Now, she is 22 and codirects the project, which encourages people, especially teenagers, to use spoken words as a tool to help in understanding the world and themselves.
The following video is a little over 18 minutes long, and I don’t care how busy you are, you have at least four minutes to watch her present “B.” It’s a spoken word poem that starts, “If I should have a daughter…”
However, if you watch only that portion, you’ll be cheating yourself out of listening to her entire presentation that concludes with a performance of her poem, “Hiroshima.”
I was going to tell you more about the content of the video, but I erased it. I don’t want to cheat you out of the experience. She tells her story much better than I can summarize it.
I think all performance artists will enjoy this presentation. Poets, storytellers, musicians, and anyone who speaks or performs before an audience (and that includes teachers), will appreciate, enjoy, and learn from what Sarah says.
I enjoyed it enough that I listened to it twice and decided to share it with you…
Act on your dream!
