This is a story about an intersectional feminist open mic night — a night that took place not too long ago in a faraway land called Tkaronto.

It was the evening of November 19, 2017. A Sunday. We'd grown weary of the expectation that as women (including and especially IBPOC and LGBTQ folks), we should just stay quiet and smile to keep old straight cis white dudes happy.

"Fuck that. It's time to disrupt the status quo!"
