At what point do we take the Christmas decorations down?
When do you take your's down? Hit me up down below, because I don't know when officially I should do it?
And yes, I have no hair we're just moving on from that.
*Bells Tolling*
Hi guys I'm Shelly, welcome back to my channel and The 12 Gays of Christmas .
Though it's not really Christmas anymore, so we're still just going with it.
This is the series where I talk about 12 inspirational, wonderful, history making,
mind blowingly cool LGBTQIA+ people.
Today Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, Non-Binary, and for those of you who have yet to decide.
May I please introduce to you, Audre Lorde, who is a lesbian worrior poet.... how could you not love that?
Born in New York, in 1934, to Caribbean immigrants.
She learned to talk as she learned to read and write, and she wrote her first poem in 8th grade.
As a child, Lorde really struggled with communication, so came to appreciate the power of poetry,
as a form of memorizing a great deal to use to communicate.
She graduated in 1951, and published her first poem in Seventeen magazine, after her school Journal rejected it.
She was then rejected by the Harlem's Writers Guild, because she was both "crazy and queer"
2 words you didn't want to hear back then, to be honest you don't want to hear crazy now.
In 1954 she went to the National University of Mexico,
where she confirmed her identity on personal and artistic levels, As a lesbian and a poet.
Returning to New York and graduating Hunter College, she became a Librarian.
Lorde then taught in the English department of Lehman College. Fighting for the creation of a black students department.
She went on to co-found the Kitchen table, Women of Colors Press, and became associate of the WIFP.
Which is the Women's Institute of the Press.
Lorde's poetry was published regularly during the 1960s. And during this time she was also politically active.
in the civil rights movement. anti-war and feminist movement.
Her writings at the time were based on The Theory of Difference.
The idea that the binary opposition between women and men is far too simplistic.
She identified issues such as class, race, age, gender and health. As being a fundamental to the female experience.
In her essay Erotica as Power, written in 1978. Lorde theorized that the erotic is the center of women's power.
And what will happen when we learn to release it from suppression, and embrace it.
Because the world is currently exploiting and/or squashing our bodies, our minds, our sexuality, everything.
From 1991 until her death she was New York's poet Laureate, and in 2001 there was an award named after her.
This is a tongue twister, called the Audrey Lorde Award, to Honor Works of Lesbian Poetry,
and she was bloody brilliant!
I've started reading some of her poetry, it's really good.
That was Audre Lorde, I hope you enjoyed this little thing.
I've had a lot of trouble speaking today, so apologies for that.
But Audre Lorde was brilliant, I didn't know about her again before I did this.
There's so many people I don't know about and I'm still tripping over my words....
I'm gonna shut up and go away, this isn't going well!
But I hope you guys are good, and snuggled up in your bed somewhere.
Or having a lovely time, or you know just napping.....
Okay Byeee......
That was the audio...... Audio?
See, I'm having rail trouble with this.... Audrey Lorde Award to honor works of lesbian poetry.....
my god that's a tongue twister
She had an award named after her!
