This is Someday with Impact Media Producer Charlene SanJenko

This is Someday with Impact Media Producer Charlene SanJenko, who is committed to changing the narrative by leveraging the healing power of media.

What if your someday started today? Someday I’ll write that book, I’ll say that thing, I’ll push that envelope, I’ll take that stand, I’ll find that courage to become what I’ve always known I’m made to be. I call this a core story. It’s the double edge sword of everything you are made as. It’s the story you can’t run fast enough from and the story you can’t run fast enough to. It’s the…

An open letter to the survivors of the Mother and Baby Homes of Ireland

Hi there,  My name is Tina Overbury and I’m a writer and storyteller living on Nex̱wlélex̱m (Bowen Island), in British Columbia, Canada.

The story that doesn’t belong to me but has…

And The Day After

Four years ago I woke up in shock that the world had gone mad. When Donald Trump was elected president it haunted me for days. This is release #8 from Where We've Been pm TinaoLife.com

Listen to TinaO read this poem below.

A feminist on the day after the 2016 USA election

I want to complain and trash the beach 

spill obnoxious tins of paint

confused by yellow shades of not-quite-green hues

all over the rocks

crash multiple bins of soot wrecking the sand

smearing clouds of murky shadows out to the wind

I am stained by this

I am slashed by this 

and…

An Angel in my Car

An Angel in my Car - I was four months out of cancer treatment when I started training for the IronMan 5150 (Olympic distance triathlon). I could barely swim ten strokes without losing my breath. This is release #6 from Where We've Been on TinaOLife.

Listen to TinaO read About it here.

About it

I’m struggling with it

It’s not new

but it 

looks 

so damn easy,

also not new

I hear

it 

can be,

easy

I keep hearing it

I should know it

by now 

Like really know how 

by now

Like if I don’t know,

it 

by now,

then there’s got to be something wrong with me

because I’ve watched every damn…

Too Woo Woo for Me

Too Woo Woo for Me

Artsy

Listen to TinaO read the poem here.

I’m one of the girls you think about 

*

Listening to snowflakes

growing holly from my elbows

cedars flanking my spine

and this collarbone, 

dotted with red berries

*

I walk these paths,

barefoot, 

toes, who can’t help themselves but flirt 

with you, 

each padded foot-fall 

across the forest floor

smirki…

Your Voice Matters

Nails

Listen to TinaO read the poem here.

Being literal is not my jam

as I stuff crayons into a rock faces

and wait for the wax to melt

so I can read

*

and typing isn’t logical

either

still once upon a teacher with cigarette long pink nails

taught me how to use the home row

fake I’m sure

the nails that is

but she could do it without click clacking at all

Hold on to What You Know – TinaO

Drivers

Listen to TinaO read this poem here.

Four wheels don’t make a driver

Some of us are gap fillers

Never considering how long it takes to stop before we start

or leaving a space between the cars

or a breath before the accident

–

Drivers read the room

they notice the way the rain hits

the window

It’s the rhythm of our repetition 

and our listening through the weather

Beauty School Drop Out- TinaO's Story Hits #2

Beauty School Drop Out- TinaO’s Story Hits #2

Weathered

Cold

shivering

wet 

weathered

Yes, and more yes, 

–

Throw me outside 

just so I can come back in

cold to warm

wet to dry

planned to unplanned

I’m made 

for living

with just enough discomfort 

I can bite it

But I eat everything

even my hair

Don’t be that person who fixes my face

adjusts 

the rogue wisp 

from my cheek

Out of the Water - TinaO's Story Hits #1

Out of the Water - TinaO's Story Hits #1, and a new poem ready by TinaO - Finish Lines.

a nervous system,

that’s what we are

electricity and thought mashed up

on sound

words on guts

fear on finish lines

how we love a good finish line story

but we are far

far

far

from ever being finished

stop pushing

I heard,

but I don’t know how to swim

stop

pushing

I…

but I will be sucked down by the reeds if…

stop

pushing

(hold breath)

but this is how I…
