2006 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

  • Neighborhood: Philadelphia
  • Change Partner: Catine Erwin
  • Discipline: Performance
  • Social Change / Intent: Feminism

Felicia is working on a self-propelled Self Love tour called “Withlove, Felicia.” She will be performing and teaching writing workshops at women’s facilities around the city of Philadelphia. Felicia hopes to encourage women to laugh out their pain, dance out their tears, cry out their joys and be inspired to write their own stories as they relearn to love themselves. Using different artistic elements such as singing, poetry, chants, personal testimonies and affirmations, the tour will reach out to and dialogue with women who are regrouping or recovering from different societal ills, focusing on shelters, rehabilitation houses, and women organizations dealing with survivors of rape and domestic violence, and using art as a healing tool.
