Sent in my by our very own Jersey Girl, Amanda, we caught an upworthy promotion of Rachel Wiley’s 10 Honest Thoughts on Being Loved by a Skinny Boy and we are absolutely IN LOVE with this woman and what she stands and slams for!
If you haven’t caught her 2013 slam during the National Poetry Slam, in Boston, Massachusetts, check it out, here:
So…. a few things:
1- We love Rachel!
2- The message is bomb!
3- It totally makes us want to put our slam hats on again and start slamming!
4- Don’t worry, we already reached out for an interview. We’re on it!
