Clitoris Celebration - Think Outside the Box (monologue) is a celebration of female sexuality. Hailed for its honesty, sense of humor, and most importantly, its mission to empower through celebration, "Clitoris Celebration" is a show that is hilarious, provocative and empowering. The show has received glowing accolades across the country from critics and audiences alike. Performed by various women artists, and at times by the writer and comedienne Sia Amma, "Clitoris Celebration" is a comedy act that combines humor and education in an effort to bring celebration and attention to various parts of the female sexual organ that have been neglected and ignored.
The Global Women Intact Educational Project to
End Female Circumcision is a reality.
"Last fall, I spent two months in three villages between the boundaries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea in West Africa! Ten girls were schedule for circumcision, after two months of educating them on their vulvas, clitorises, vaginas, and G-spots, I returned to the United State. My sister said my efforts were successful because only two of the 8 went through with the circumcision. I am retuning to my village in December to do more education and need all the monetary help I can get. If everyone who believes in ending female mutilation donates only one dollar, I will have enough money to pay for educational materials, transportation and networking with the village women. Then perhaps we can begin to change the thinking that causes people to perpetuate this barbaric custom. Each time I visit my village, I change more minds and save more girls from being circumcised. Like casting pebbles in a stream, each person I save, will save her daughter and she in turn will save hers. Won't you help?" Sia Amma.
