Description
Jaqueline wrote this poem on behalf of the SEMA network for the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI) Conference in 2022. She also recited it during the opening ceremony of the 2023 SEMA art exhibition “We Are Speaking, Are You Listening?” in Nairobi, Kenya. The poem speaks profoundly of the power of togetherness, and it resonates with strength, resilience, and hope in the face of unspeakable adversity. This artwork was featured in the 2023 SEMA Collective Memory Exhibition ‘We Are Speaking, Are You Listening?’ in Nairobi, Kenya.
