Rosa Yadira Ortiz’s Testimonial On NO! A Documentary On Sexual Assault

March 10, 2008

NO! is moving and simultaneously empowering. As a survivor who has struggled to break the silence of sexual violence, it’s refreshing and encouraging to hear other women transgress this silence and speak to our realities and histories, and thus work to heal from these traumas, individually and collectively. Thank you Aishah and the women of NO! for your courage and strength…it makes healing a bit easier!

Ewaure Osayande’s Testimonial On NO! A Documentary On Sexual Assault

March 10, 2008


NO! not only gives voice to the overlooked and often dismissed trauma of Black women survivors of rape, it is their voice. This documentary is both testimony and testament. ‘NO!™’ forces us Black men to end our long slumber of denial and come to terms with our complicity in the abuse of Black women.
Ewuare Osayande, Cultural Analyst, Educational Consultant, Political Activist, and Author, Misogyny & The Emcee: Race, Sex, Hip Hop
