Calayah Heron, a participant of the New York City GirlsWriteNow wrote and performed a powerful poem about street harassment called “Cornerstorecandy.”
In two minutes, she covers so many important topics about street harassment. The young age it starts (at 8 years old for her), its regularity, its physicality, the underlying fear of escalation, and the disgust and panic you can feel when experiencing it.
Thank you for your eloquence, Calayah and for showing exactly what street harassment is all about and why it MUST END.
