Welcome to another Tuesday with TED. This week we have spoken word poet Sarah Kay telling the story of her metamorphosis from a wide-eyed teenager soaking in verse at New York’s Bowery Poetry Club to a teacher connecting kids with the power of self-expression through Project V.O.I.C.E. In her talk, “If I Should Have a Daughter,” Sarah also gives two breathtaking spoken word performances: “B” and “Hiroshima.”

This is, in a word, incredible. The perfect way to celebrate 100 posts (now 101) on my blog.

So what are the ten things you know to be true? How could you turn this list into stories or poems (or art or anything else creative)?

Until next time,
Cynthia Patton
