WASIMA FARAH (Artist) is a 17-year old visual artist based in St. Paul, Minnesota, whose work varies from vibrant graphic design to illustrations. She has created this artwork with the intention of communicating that “my pain is valid, my anger is valid and I will be heard.” The speech bubble is empty so that women can picture what they want to speak loudly about.
Listen, Dear:
Do not trust Anyone
Who doesn’t take your
Hand and say;
“Here! Look, it breaks me, too.
I‘m here for women.
I’m here for the women.
I’m here for the women like me.
I’m here for the woman who is me.
Listen, Dear:
Do not trust Anyone
Who doesn’t take your
Hand and say;
“Here! Look, it breaks me, too.
Here! Look, I have scars, too.
Here! Look, I pray it away, too.
Here! Look, I cry to sleep, too.
Here! Look, I survive it. too.”
