Audrey Dimola poet behind Gillette Venus


Audrey Dimola (right)

Audrey Dimola is the poet behind the inspiring Gillette Venus ad campaign*.  Unlike some poetry slam, hers is loud and clear without having to be strident and hers is impassioned without having to be melodramatic.
there are no words to say how grateful i am to be part of a campaign that hones in on something i believe in SO strongly: being bold and multi-faceted in the face of labels – overcoming all those gatekeepers that are CONSTANTLY trying to hold us back or pin us down. it’s all about making people FEEL something.. and reading the comments from friends and strangers alike is truly heart-stirring. this is what it’s about – reminding each other why we’re here and who we truly are. that there is no box, no cage, no boundary that can contain us. we are limitless. wild AND smart AND bold AND… :)
*by the way, just in case anyone lands here from elsewhere – gillette venus wrote the fantastic words (not me), then found a real poet to perform it (me!). :)
Reference: grateful for AND's.
