“What are the words you do not yet have?
What do you need to say?
What are the tyrannies you
swallow day by day
and attempt to make your own,
until you will sicken and die from them,
still in silence?” – AUDRE LORDE
(The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action)

Speaking out and creating art carries risk, but swallowing your truth is its own special kind of poison.
