Gala Darling — one of my all-time favorite bloggers – recently launched a “Radical Self-Love” campaign. In today’s Valentine’s Day post, she includes the following TED Talk with Eve Ensler, creator of The Vagina Monologues.
Ms. Ensler’s TED Talk is 21 minutes and 11 seconds of pure illumination. I literally wept. Watch it now.
So, what next?
{ Read more about Eve Ensler’s work on the V-Day website. }
{ Get the critical facts about violence against women. }
{ Find a V-Day event near you. }
{ Go eat some ice cream, because you are fortunate enough to live in a country that won’t flog you for doing so. }
{ Think about these words: “Stop fixing your body and start fixing the world.” }

Ohhhhhhhhhh my God. That was amazing, S. Orchard. I am literally overwrought. I want to get her “Emotional Creature” book so bad. LIBRARY TIME!!!
Yeh, I’ve become totally obsessed with TED talks recently, and after you put that one up I went and looked for her other ones. Woop woop!
I was completely unaware that vaginal mutilation was going on. This is horrible I will definitely find a way to support V-Day.
