Sassy, Smart, & Ready to Shake Things Up!
I jumped the stage at today’s campus demonstration and had a few things to say. Click link below to see the video clip.
More photos are coming soon, along with a breakdown of the issues. This matters. Speak your truth!
Speaking Up is About Democracy. It’s About Freedom!
The Panelettes: Cara Bruce, Shawna Kenney, and Shira Tarrant
Here’s a photo of the wonderful Baltimore audience.
The Feminist Sex event was at The 2640 Space, a beautiful converted church.
I’m back in Los Angeles and catching my breath after a series of amazing readings and lectures I gave along the I-95 corridor: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C.
These photos are from Baltimore. I asked the intelligent, feisty, irreverent authors Cara Bruce and Shawna Kenney to join me in one more of a series of Feminist Sex readings.
What’s Feminist Sex? Nobody knows. For sure. Yet. But I’ve been bringing the anti-sexist, sex-positive conversations together in one venue. Shake, stir . . . and be on the look-out for new book in the works titled (you’ve got it!), Feminist Sex.
Thanks to Red Emma’s Bookstore for inviting us and to the 2640 Space for housing the event, which outgrew the bookstore space.
