This will be my first time taking part in "The Vagina Monologues." It is an honor to be added to the 2007 cast. V-Day is a great way to acknowledge how far we've come, as well as the challenges that still exist. 1736 Family Crisis Center is a great organization that helps many people get out of danger and back on their feet. I am happy they will benefit from our performances.

I'm thrilled to be a part of "The Vagina Monologues" for a second year at The Pier Avenue Auditorium. It's a wonderful, inspiring show and the fact that we're helping raise money for 1736 Family Crisis Center makes it that much more meaningful. It's an honor to be able to help contribute to such a wonderful organization that does so much to help battered women and their children here in Southern California.

women have many voices

but only one vagina......

let them both be heard

I feel privileged and blessed to be a part of "The Vagina Monologues" for the 3rd year in a row. The 1736 Family Crisis Center is an amazing group of women helping one another to overcome obstacles that most of us can't comprehend. I have never seen so much love and support for other human beings. I am proud to help, even if it's just lending a sympathetic ear or standing on a stage. I do this with love, honor and respect for all women around the world. Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see." Peace and Blessings.

It is an honor to be part of "The Vagina Monologues" for the third year, but this time in the city that I live in and love so much. I am so thankful to be sharing the stage with an amazing group of women who have come together for such an honorable cause. Come join us in this quest for understanding and celebration of life. I am proud to be a Vagina Warrior!

I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of "The Vagina Monologues." My first time was two years ago at Cal State Long Beach and now I am back for more. Vagina Monologues opened my eyes to all the beauty and energy constantly around me and also within me. It is an honor for me to take part in and spread the good news that has been here since the beginning of time: women are here to stay and here for everyone, especially our vaginas.

I am honored to be a part of "The Vagina Monologues" for a second year. V-Day South Bay and 1736 Family Crisis Center offer wonderful support and opportunities to women and children in crisis. I am proud to help in any way I can to teach us all to strive for non-violence in every aspect of our lives.

I was elated and thrilled when asked to be a member of this cast of "The Vagina Monologues." I work in the field of social services and definitely want to be a part of this movement to educate and change attitudes about violence against women.

I am dedicating my heart and work in this V-Day celebration to my younger sister, Elizabeth Joy, whose heart chose to remain with her twin babies during childbirth. Her life and death are an inspiration of grace and a statement of what it is to be a woman. A woman with a vagina. A woman with a brave, giving heart.
