Female SuperStar Celebrity Pledge

Article called "Dirty Little Secret."


Female SuperStar Celebrity Pledge
Poem by Benita Blocker

Female Superstar Celebrities 
using the illusion of sex for sale
while remaining untouchable 
behind a computer screen, magazine or a television frame.

Leaving sex slaves ages 12 to 14 to satisfy men 
who were left visually stimulated and erect on a bed frame.
Is there no shame?

Underage sex has always been around.
Yet, in the past, there were more men with integrity 
to stomp sexual violations into the ground.

Children could be children and be safe in their own home.
Yet in this century, safety seems seasonal and home- no where to be found.

Young girls who have yet to finish high school do not know where to run.
Barely finished puberty and sex trafficking is all around.

So Female Celebrity Superstars, it is time to pledge to shut down,
the money-makers,
the goldmines,
the rump-shakers,
the shot-callers, and
show these girls about self-worth and what it takes to be a role model.

Female celebrities of the past banded together - showing a lot of class.
Their dress for success had less to do with self-expression and sex appeal.
But more to do with sisterhood, talent, and smarter deals.
By taking this pledge, you start silent reparations 
to aid our young girls in preparation
to become whole again.
