Ani DiFranco
I think it’s important to tell our stories – just to add it to the soup – because I think in the end it’s more flavorful than if there were only a few. Especially for people who can’t see their stories on TV or read them in history books and stand up for themselves. Their only option then, which I think is a really important first step, is to relate their own experiences. That’s all I intend to do in my songs – just tell my story and write about what I know.
