MORE ABOUT IN DEFENSE OF GLITTER AND RAINBOWS
“I was inspired to write “In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows” while writing a series of poems called “Dear Girl” and spending time with my daughter,” states Viviann “True” Rodriguez. “Many of the shows on television show women putting each other down while displaying a separateness that tears away at the fabric of sisterhood. In writing “In Defense of Glitter and Rainbows,” I am fighting to show that Women are, in fact, loving of each other.
That how we treat each other is passed down from generation to generation and that with the foundation laid by those Women who forged the path, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome and conquer.”
