"Rise (A Proclamation)" Special International Women's History Month MP3

"Rise (A Proclamation)" (audio) is Hustle Diva's homage to all the women who know their value in this world, so they keep going, loving, protecting, and thriving no matter what obstacles jump in their way. If you're a woman who questions her worth, you will be reminded you of who you really are!

EXCERPT:

"Broken women

never let being disassembled

stop them

from superheroing

They know the value

of their severed parts

keep them swept in a neat pile

within reach at all times

aware that their thorny jagged

is the ammunition required

to slash barriers

shred red tape

burst bubbles

dismember egos

poke holes in sexist theories..."
