Interview with Aisha Raison, spoken word artist, photographer, and producer

Aisha Raison-spoken word artist, photographer and producer-has recited poetry all through the south since 1997. Starting off in Memphis at the Firehouse on October 24, 1997, she emerged as a developing writer with a curiosity for making the audience...well, comfortable.  With her feminist image and her sexual words, she won and toured several southern poetry slams and readings, .Aisha Raison has proven to be one of the strong, young Womanist poets, producers and speakers of our time.  She is also a motivational speaker and domestic violence advocate who occasionally works with programs such as the YWCA of Greater Memphis as well as a midday on air personality at 88.5 WQOX-FM in Memphis.                                                 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtHLHdwRVsw                    

Her documentary, #Girlslikeme, is about all aspects of Black women, from puberty to menopause, from the way society has treated us and how they see us to how we treat ourselves. This is a love project that I want to present to the Memphis Film Festival this year.
