Audre Lorde's "The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action"

In "The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action," Audre Lorde emphasizes that silence can be a form of protection but also a barrier to necessary change. She advocates for speaking out about injustices, especially regarding identity and oppression, as a powerful act of empowerment. Lorde encourages individuals, particularly marginalized groups, to find their voices and share their truths, transforming personal silence into collective action. This process nurtures understanding, promotes change, and affirms one’s dignity and strength through honest communication.
