Yoni Ki Baat

Yoni Ki Baat is a collection of authentic, bold, vivid, tender, powerful and poignant stories told by South Asian women.

Translated as "Talks of the Vagina", Yoni Ki Baat* was inspired by Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues. Seattle's Yoni Ki Baat has now taken a creative life of its own, propelled by the courageous voices of local South Asian women, and creating a unique space of sharing and community through sourcing and presenting true stories. Our narratives shed light on the special challenges experienced in the South Asian socio-cultural context, whether homegrown or related to the diaspora, while also expressing opportunities, dreams and aspirations for change. Every year Yoni Ki Baat is unique featuring local South Asian women, many of whom write their own scripts.
