E Nina Jay is a black, lesbian, womon, activist, writer of African descent, who uses poetry as a tool of survival and to break silences around all forms of violence against gurls and womyn, with particular focus on the intersection of gender, violence, race and poverty. As a survivor of rape and incest, E Nina Jay believes womyn and gurls can create powerful community to fight against the violence and constant degradation that weaves itself into every facet of our lives, using art, voice and education to empower and build strong resistance and community.
