Want to be moved (in my case to tears) and inspired? Check this out. (The difference heart-led people can make in the world just blows me away...)The following is excerpted from an email from my talented niece (@jill rosenthal) and gives important context... A few weeks ago, my friend Martha Adams called me to say that a Peruvian teenager from her documentary, Girl Rising (10x10 - Girl Rising) was going to be honored at this years Women in the World conference in New York (a huge prestigious event!). She wanted to know whether the Get Lit Players ( Get Lit - Words Ignite) might be interested in creating some poems to honor Senna, a girl from a dirt-poor village on a mountaintop in the Andes who somehow put her hands on a book of poetry and was so inspired by it that she began to write her own. So I got the Get Lit kids together and screened the chapter of the documentary, then asked them to write some poems in response. I got some friends to film them performing the pieces and we sent the footage to the Girl Rising team. They were so blown away they decided to fly one of our kids, Marquesha Babers to New York and have her appear on stage at the Lincoln Center alongside Senna! Well, they did, and she got a standing ovation from a packed house!!! Marquesha was homeless for seven years. She had never flown on a plan before. They had to buy her proper shoes because she only had flip-flops. Today, thanks to Get Lit, she is a straight A student, rubbing elbows with the likes of Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton and Meryl Streep. My heart is bursting. This is without a doubt one of the proudest moments of my life. Here is a link to the footage of Marqueshas performance. It is stunning. thedailybeast/witw/articles/2014/04/04/education-and-poetry-change-two-girls-lives.html And heres a link to one of the pre-conference postings on Girl Risings blog. Scroll down to the B&W clip of the three guys and take a gander at the piece they wrote for Senna. Itll leave you speechless. Seriously. girlrising/blog/from-la-rinconada-to-lincoln-center/
