How Do You Celebrate Women's History Month? Spoken Word Piece by Maceo Paisley

Two sides to every coin, six sides to every story. Infinite voices in our universal chorus.

 


Let’s just be objective! 3-Dimensional measures are valued over the subjective.
The subjective is too easy to attack, its too abstract. So lets just take a step back and be selective,
About the criteria we apply when appraising our approach to fulfilling our directives.

 


There’s a lot of people talking about thinking out side of the box.
But’s what so wrong about this object?
Everyone in it wins, and everyone outside of the box spins
Our into abjection, depending on your adjectives.
The adverse effects of this prescription are part and parcel

To creating safety and protection for those whom we have affection.


It doesn’t make us evil. Just practical. Its a matter of scope.
Some people are a clear “Yes” and other people are a “Nope”

But we should be willing to explore the criteria we use when deciding when we open our doors.



Two sides to every coin, six sides to every story. Infinite voices in our universal chorus.



What is “normal” anyway?!


In 1960 it was normal for black people to move to the back of the bus to make room for white folk.
In 1970 it was normal for a 2 year old to ride in the front of a car without a car seat.

In 1990 it was normal to carry a pager. Normal changes.


Normal is average, or majority, or decided by the authorities.
It speaks not to what is idea, the best, or even most important.

I’d rather be responsive, we have to acknowledge context.


We have to listen,  and to listen we have to hear.
We have to be near and connect.
We have to reduce proximity, reach for empathy, and allow for trust in instances where proof doesn’t exist yet.

At some point normal shifts.


Like ships on the sea, so the captain needs to see as far as they can see in every direction.

So up in the crows next they gain new perspective and come down to make calculations about course corrections


People collaborating in a dynamic frame, with a common aim.


Has the social potential to change the game.



Two sides to every coin, six sides to every story. Infinite voices in our universal chorus.


 


Thank you for an incredible event. Happy Women’s History Month!
