Blank Noise is a growing community of citizens, women and persons, also known as ‘Action Heroes’. Action Heroes, are persons, like you, and me, stepping into their power and agency to shift the given environments of defence and threat, to trust. Action Heroes confront the fear. Action Heroes join forces to end victim blame, resonating #INeverAskForIt. Action Heroes speak about sexual assault, misogyny (when ready). Action Heroes offer listening in. Action Heroes heal.

There’s one story that pretty much sums up my spirit of being #AkeliAwaaraAzaad. For me, turning 26, has been exciting, challenging and rewarding. But, it has also meant being bombarded with regressive remarks about my single hood, my independence and my agency. Patriarchy had caught up with me, I was suddenly of marriagable age. I went from being 'single' to being 'unmarried'. 💩 So I was asked to send across an 'acceptable' photo of myself for its un consenting circulation among my family’s ‘Match Makers’. After many polite no’s, angry no’s, loud no’s, I gave in. I gave in, but not without a good laugh. I sent this badass picture to mommy dearest, giggling the whole time.
Did she giggle?
No.
Eeshita - 1/ Patriarchy - 0
