You Will Not Erase Me: A Memoir in Poetry, Protest, and Survival

By Lisa Russell

YOU WILL NOT ERASE ME A Memoir in Poetry, Protest, and Survival By Emmy-winning filmmaker and global storyteller Lisa Russell For every artist who's been sidelined. For every woman who's been erased. For every story that refuses to stay silent. In this bold, emotionally charged collection, Asian American Emmy-winning filmmaker and UN/NGO global storyteller Lisa Russell weaves poetry and personal narrative into a memoir of erasure, survival, and reclaiming space. Told through the lens of a woman who has spent two decades fighting to amplify silenced voices - while often being silenced herself - You Will Not Erase Me is both personal testimony and poetic protest. It is a genre-defying body of work for those who've built movements behind the scenes, carried creative visions without credit, and refused to disappear. From global war zones to UN stages, from whispered betrayals to bold truths, Lisa captures the fire and fragility of a life shaped by art, activism, and injustice. Her verses speak to those who have endured invisibility - not just within broken systems, but within the very movements they helped build. Inside these pages, you'll find: * A raw, lyrical journey through erasure, injustice, and creative survival * A "No Thank You" list - poetic indictment of systems that exploit women, artists, and changemakers * A collection that blurs the line between art and activism, memoir and manifesto This book is for: * The women who upheld feminism - but were left behind by it * The artists who built the room - but weren't given the mic * The creatives whose work shaped the world - even if no one said their name * The dreamers, disruptors, and storytellers who are done asking for permission If you've ever been told to stay quiet, to play small, or to wait your turn - this book is for you. Because when the world tries to erase you, you write yourself back into it.
