This woman.
Alicia Partnoy, Poet and human rights warrior, delivered this inspiring speech at the 2018 Smithsonian Sisterfire Festival of American Folk Life on the Mall in Washington DC on Sunday, July 8.
Azy and I went to the festival to meet her. To gift to her. We wanted her to know that we would like to honor her. But we left as recipients of the gift of her friendship.
Alicia is like a cloud. She contains thunder if necessary. Lighting when needed. But otherwise she’s soft and floats like a mist. She’s tender. But bold.
July 8 was a day that checked all of the boxes. It filled all of the buckets. It will stand the test of time. It will present doors and open them.
Alicia is one of our heroines. She represents the tenacity and spirit of the individuals we would like you - our audience and viewers to know! Please consider reading her works and about her life. We are so thankful for the opportunity we had to meet Alicia and we will cherish her friendship!
She is the one, the only, Alicia Partnoy.
