eFEMeral: Voice Matters
By Monifa Harris & Shannon Wong Lerner
eFEMeral: Voice Matters (with Monifa Harris & Shannon Wong Lerner) is an exploration of femme/femininity culture and the performance of identity. Feminine is breath. The undefinable. The unseen. The unheard. Unrepresented. Beyond just women, we include BIPOC, womxn, and queered people. We talk about how women, BIPOC, and genderqueer, non-binary, and trans individuals are expected to perform certain roles. And how we can break from these by learning more about how to give voice to our authentic selves.

eFEMeral: Voice Matters; Episode 3: Turning the Spotlight Within: Listening to Your Own Voice
In this third episode of eFEMeral, we discuss different breath and voice practices during Covid-19. We discuss this topic to cover how we’ve experienced listening to ourselves; What happens with your voice when listening; What happens with your breath when listening; What to do when you get tired of your own voice (and tired with your own company). We end the episode talking about what to do when you're tired of your own voice. In the end, we discuss how to get creative and have fun when at home.
