The PocketBook Monologues
by Sharon K. McGhee

Description:

Sharon K. McGhee has compiled a collection of stories from women of color who share their heartfelt emotions about intimacy. The stage production that accompanies this publication highlights each woman's brutally honest, funny and poignant recollections and reveals never-before told stories about their "pocketbook." "Pocketbook" is the term used by many older African-American women to describe the triangle that separates their thighs. Following the blueprint established by Eve Ensler of the Vagina Monologues, McGhee keeps the African-American female perspective front and center. The PocketBook Monologues has started a movement with a mission of empowering and entertaining women of color about HIV/AIDS.

The PocketBook Monologues invites women of color to have an open and honest discussion about sexual responsibility. Every woman that knows better should find a girl and prepare her for a world that holds devastating consequences when she is not informed. For years, I have been a strong  advocate for preparing our youth for the realities of making bad decisions about their sexual health. Just saying no to sex does not work. We have been preaching abstinence for centuries. Every capable woman has a role to play to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS. Sharon McGhee is stepping up and embracing a concept that I have been advocating throughout my career, the truth!
