A Call for new Love Your Body Monologues!

Do you have a story you would like to share with the Rice University campus? Perhaps some personal experience or advice regarding body image and loving your body? Each year, the Wellness Center puts on the Love Your Body Monologues in February to serve as the big finale event during Love Your Body Month. All of the monologues are written by Rice students, and you can choose to write and perform your own monologue or write an anonymous monologue to be performed by another student.

We are looking for new monologues to incorporate into the performance next spring. If you are interested in writing, please fill out the form below by January 13. You can remain anonymous. If you are interested in performing, please contact Annie Zeumer at acz2@rice.edu.
