Writer and artist Marline Johnson, an alum of The Voices and Faces Project's 2015 Stories We Tell Testimonial Writing Workshop at Northwestern University.

In honor of National Poetry Month, seven voices that move us to feel, and to act.

April is both Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Poetry Month, which is why we are highlighting works written by alumnae of The Stories We Tell, the Voices and Faces Project’s immersive, two-day testimonial writing program for survivors of gender-based violence and other human rights violations. Please read, share, and be inspired by these powerful and purposeful words.
