A nonprofit organization that promotes domestic violence awareness, advocates for domestic violence survivors, and provides resources to women, children, men, and families in need, Sarah Speaks Up encourages those who have lived through domestic abuse to share their own experiences and inspire others who may be facing similar circumstances to live free of violence and abuse. A survivor of domestic violence herself, Ms. Gallardo's message is not that of a victim but of a strong woman who has overcome adversity, defied the odds, and remained positive in the face of violence to change the lives of herself and her child for the better.

-- I'm a journalism grad who had a "first life" in magazine journalism, and freelance marketing-communications work in Canada; however, with the arrival of my daughter Julia, now 26, I made a mid-life career change into Montessori teaching. Since 2002, I've been a classroom teacher at Sint Maarten Montessori School in the Dutch Caribbean.-- I absolutely LOVE encouraging kids and, really, EVERYone to find their Inner Poet! One of the great satisfactions of a life in words is the knowledge that 17 of my current and former students, ages 9 to 19, have also become published writers and poets -- and we're just getting started 😄-- On your show, I'll read from my collections Full Moon Fire, published last summer, and Moonchild, coming in December. (Yes, I'm a July-born Moonchild, and the Moon does shine brightly into my work!) I'm a writer who always has multiple projects in the works. These days, I'm working on a manuscript entitled RAINBOW COUNTRY, inspired through and through by life in my island home. I'd like to share a poem or two from that work in progress.-- To launch Full Moon Fire, I collaborated with Rawle James in Toronto and the international poets of the Inspired Poetry Corner in the first Moon Lovers International Poetry & Music Fest -- featuring SXM poets live on stage and poet-friends on Zoom!! Beginning in November 2022, we plan to make this a monthly event!1 hr 8 min - Quintessential Listening: Poetry Online Radio Presents Diana Rosen
