I am an Endangered Species
The first time I heard Dianne Reeve's "Endangered Species" I was an underclassman in high school. It was at a dance competition, performed by a soloist from Lincoln High School. The dancer was tiny, maybe 5'2", she had long and curly red hair, and personality that far exceeded every limb and movement she did.
Looking back on that experience, I think it was the first time I really felt connected to feminism; the song and movement combined stirred something inside of me and showed up as goosebumps all over my body.
As the years passed I forgot about the song completely, until about a week ago when I heard the song used on the current season of So You Think You Can Dance.

From the first note I recognized the song, and it sparked something in me again. Chills...
I am a woman
I am an artist
I know where my voice belongs
