Being hip almost killed me. I grew up in Scarsdale, a grotesquely wealthy suburb of New York City, and I failed at striving early on. I always had the wrong clothes, and I never had a car, a phone, social skills, a nose job, a Bat Mitzvah, or a dot of confidence.

This summer, V spent time conducting interviews, listening to the stories, and experiences of front line nurses.
Indigenous leader Célia Xakriabá and Vagina Monologues author V discuss the destruction of Brazil’s forests and why this is the century of the indigenous woman.
Stories and poems full of loss, longing and tenderness.
Feigning ignorance or a lack of complicity is no longer acceptable – we must all work together to counter endemic prejudice in America.
READ V’s prescient 2018 piece published by LeftWord Books in a book entitled Strongmen, collection of essays by four sparkling writers about four such monsters.
A century after the young Franz Kafka set out to hold his abusive, narcissistic father accountable in an extraordinary letter he never actually sent to the living perpetrator, playwright, activist, and V-Day founder Eve Ensler confronts her own monstrously abusive father, long after his death, in The Apology.
Just days after she delivered the talk, Eve Ensler’s newest TED talk “The Profound Power of An Authentic Apology” has been released, one of the first videos coming out of TEDWomen 2019.
Listen to Eve’s 2019 keynote plenary at Bioneers.
