December 2017
There is always something sad about the last tour stop of the
season. This year it was at Marist College where I would present “Act Like aFeminist Artist” for the last time in 2017. Marist did not disappoint! Students
and faculty flooded the aisles of Fusco Recital Hall ready with questions –
eager to catch a banana. (It was lunch time after all…)

As I clicked through my presentation I thought about all the
places I have been lucky enough to visit this year – from Decatur to Carbondale;
Missoula to Poughkeepsie. Every tour stop guaranteed me a few interactions with
ass kicking feminists - boots on the ground activists, pushing back against
patriarchy and #45. Every one inspired and filled me with new strategies to push
back against the status quo.

Thank you, Marist College, for a great wrap up to the year,
especially Dr. Angela Laflen, director of both the writing program and the women’s
center. My visit to Marist was the perfect end to a year that began with tears and
fears for our country and a women’s march for the history books. Now as the
year comes to an end, I know “we got this,” – feminist faith is something that
will jettison me into 2018.

Stay tuned for “PUSH/PUSHBACK, 9 steps to create change with Activism and Art” – my new talk for 2018 making tour stops in Pennsylvania and
beyond.
See you on the road.
Love,
