As we continue our series featuring the women of FIERCE: Essays by and About Dauntless Women, we talk today with Chicava Honeychild, who is an actress, a burlesque dancer, a scholar, and a teacher of what she calls "Sacred Burlesque." She tells us what she has in common with a nun from the 1700s who had healing powers, and how she's using burlesque to combat society's narrow and unrealistic views on female beauty.

 

You can find Chicava's work with Sacred Chrysalis here.

You can purchase a copy of the award-winning anthology, FIERCE: Essays by and About Dauntless Women here.
