As a former Vagina cast member I was thrilled to see that V-Day lives on at Tufts. Every year around this time, I think about the incredible experience I had being a part of the events surrounding V-Day. The women (and men) who are a part of V-Day are to be congratulated and celebrated for continuing to provide a safe, entertaining, and open forum to talk about sex and related issues. I'm happy to see that the events have been expanded to include a Sex Fair. Its success is evident in the examples given in Wednesday's viewpoint (Mulitple Opportunities for Sexual Discourse, Feb. 2) and I hope that this year's Fair is even better and continues to faciliate dialogue on campus.
Performing Eve Ensler's monologue was one of my best experiences at Tufts and I'm so happy to know that other women on campus have had the chance to do the same. Playing such a strong, self-assured woman in front of a packed Cohen auditorium showed me that I can stand up for what I believe in, and that I can affect people with strong statements. I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement while reading Jody and Louise's article. Participating in an event like V-Day is<$> a life-changing experience. I hope to see continuing expansion of this important celebration in the years to come and I too anxiously await the day when V-Day will stand for "Victory over Violence Day."
Congratulations to this year's vaginas and welcome to the Sisterhood.
