Audre Lorde questionnare to oneself
Jan. 9th, 2017 01:15 pmSaw this on Tumblr and posting it here as a writing / blogging challenge:
The Audre Lorde questionnaire to oneself.
1. what are the words you do not have yet? [Or, “for what do you not have words, yet?”]
2. What do you need to say? [list as many things as necessary]
3. What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? [List as many as necessary today. Then write a new list tomorrow. And the day after.]
4 If we have been socialized to respect fear more than our own need for language, ask yourself: “What’s the worst that could happen to me if I tell this truth?” [so, answer this today. and everyday.]
