<span style="font-size: large;">Most conferences I have attended are full of events and can be quite overwhelming. magine 8 days of a morning, noon and night schedule to chose from. I managed to catch some incredible performances in both traditional theatre spaces, black boxes and on the street. Discussions of political activism and art not only happened on stages at the University of Mexico City but over cups of strong coffee and flutes of frozen margaritas into the evening hours. There was something for everyone and I was lucky to meet people from all over the world. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For my three hour workshop on creating street theatre – about twenty five savvy activists gathered to create some incredible work. This was, thankfully, one of the first events of the conference and the energy at the workshop was palpable.

<span style="font-size: large;">By day 5 I was ready for my lecture/presentation “How many feminists does it take to screw in a light blub: On creating feminist theatre in the 21<sup>st</sup>Century.” Simultaneous translations took place into both Spanish and Portuguese and I was a bit wary that the time lapse would kill some of the humor in my piece but it did not. The audience was incredibly responsive and reactive to my announcement that it was not a lecture but a feminist party! </span></div>

Acela for a gig at UMASS Dartmouth's <a href="https://www.umassd.edu/cwgs/" target="_blank">Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality.</a> This center was founded in 1970 and is
the second oldest collegiate Women’s Center in the country. Cool. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I sip iced coffee and look out the window at the Long
Island Sound I feel excited for this trip because it is one of my favorite tour
stops - the return visit. <a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/" target="_blank">Guerrilla Girls On Tour</a> performed at UMASS Dartmouth
back at the beginning of the century (feels so weird to write that).
Feminist/theatreartist/Centerdirector <a href="https://www.umassd.edu/cwgs/staff/" target="_blank">Juli Parker </a>invited us then and now. This
time I head back to the campus sans mask for two reasons. One is to lead a
poster making workshop and the other is to give my new talk, <i><a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/guerrilla-girls-activism-art-ebook/" target="_blank">PUSH/PUSHBACK 9 Steps to Make a Differencewith Activism and Art. </a><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After arriving in Boston's Back Bay Station I hope in a
rental car and make the shortish drive to New Bedford, MA - a harbor town with
a whaling museum and ferry boats to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. I find fresh
scallops on the menus of most restaurants
nearby and am told this is the heart of scallop fishing on the east
coast. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That night a snow storm hit the east coast and I wake up to
discover that campus is closed on Monday – the date of my workshop. This is why I always put an extra day
into travel on tours that take place in winter. Yep, better to be safe than sorry and I am able to
reschedule my workshop for the next day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tuesday will be a marathon – workshop for 2 plus hours
followed by my talk. I really hope my rental car has a snow broom and scraper
in the trunk (it does!) because the snow is wet and heavy. It takes me a few
starts and stops to get my windshield wipers working but I head off to campus
midmorning for the workshop. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.umassd.edu/cwgs/staff/" target="_blank">Mitch Berube</a> of the Center greets me and we find a perfect
parking spot! “That’s odd,” says Mitch, “because Mercury is in retrograde and
since the snow storm everything is a bit off.” It seems my publisher has sent a
case of the wrong books to UMass Dartmouth and instead of 24 copies of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/MASKED-Memoirs-Guerrilla-Girl-Tour/dp/1510709436/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=" target="_blank"><i>UN/MASKED</i> </a>they received a bunch of books
on food styling! Somehow I’ll make
this work. (UPDATE: my publisher, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/MASKED-Memoirs-Guerrilla-Girl-Tour/dp/1510709436/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=" target="_blank">Skyhorse</a>, is sending UMASS a bunch of free

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recently had the chance to don my gorilla mask for a photo shoot for the cover of a major magazine (which I cannot tell you about because it's all hush hush until it hits the news stands).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being behind the mask, with my sister Guerrilla Girls, was cool. It made me think about being anonymous and faceless and how that works for activists on many levels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's empowering - you can say whatever you want and not be afraid of being accused of saying what you said for purely personal gains.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's fun to wear a costume - and be someone else for a while.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are different - in a mask, your facial expressions are gone and you have only your body to communicate your humanity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The downsides....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A mask is a barrier between you and another human being - they cannot tell if you are smiling or crying. There is a disconnect. (Which is why Guerrilla Girls On Tour redesigned our masks to show parts of our faces - as theatre artists we wanted to break down the barrier the mask creates.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's hot and sweaty under all that rubber. I am good for about an hour, then I can't wait to rip it off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Was in my old mask for about two hours and even though my hair was a royal mess afterwards, it was super fun to hang with my fellow activists for a day. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt;">I landed in Chicago, drove to Peoria. From Peoria I drove back to Chicago. From Chicago I drove to Pewaukee, Wisconsin. From Pewaukee I drove back to Chicago to fly to New York. All in all I drove a total of 671 miles through the mid west. It was an awesome week. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt;">Bradley University in Peoria – you rock! What a tight knit community of feminists I found. The Women’s and Gender Studies Department at Bradley could not have been more impressive – they assembled about 200 students for my talk “<a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/art-activism-tour-guerrilla-girls/" target="_blank">PUSH/PUSHBACK, 9 Steps to Make a Difference with Activism and Art</a>.” There was an article in the <a href="https://www.pjstar.com/entertainmentlife/20181005/author-feminist-brings-guerrilla-girls-to-bradley" target="_blank">Peoria Journal Star</a> before my appearance. Some very smart man wrote a nasty comment about the article and thus, had to great fortune to have my own personal security detail in the form of campus Police and Officer Rossi. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt;">From Bradley it was off to University Chicago and The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality. Gina Olson and the Center’s crew organized a <a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/art-activism-tour-guerrilla-girls/" target="_blank">feminist party</a> at Midway Studios and the Grey Center – an old artists studio right on campus. My podium was an old easel – apropos. I really enjoyed talking selfies with the audience before the program and schmoozing with the late afternoon crowd. There was food, drink, music and Center for Gender Studies blue everywhere. Thanks U of Chicago for the packed house. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

A sleepy, verdant hamlet located in Columbia County, NY, Spencertown has a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/The-Spencertown-Country-Store-354543904564492/" target="_blank">Country Store </a>stocked with homemade pastries and jams and the best BLT I’ve tasted north of Manhattan. There is not much else to do in Spencertown except to experience the Academy – a cultural and community center housed in a landmark 1847 Greek Revival schoolhouse. Each year the Academy hosts a line up of events, one of the most popular being their festival of books – a curated used book sale with some of the best looking used books around. At this year’s festival I slipped a collection of short stories by Rick Bass under my arm and headed for the cashier while my husband, Richard, grabbed up novels by Helen Simonson and Anthony Trollope and followed me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14pt;">But used books are not the only thing Spencertown Festival of Books offers. Every day the festival stage features readings from writers of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. They even host a young writers contest and I was so happy I arrived early to catch Claudia Maurino read her excellent and moving essay, “Loss,” as the nonfiction prize winner. Read it <a href="https://spencertownacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Loss.ClaudiaMaurino.Nonfiction.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14pt;">Saturday, September 1<sup>st </sup>was my day as a featured author and I was paired with Linda Dahl, the author of the recently published “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tooth-Nail-Making-Female-Doctor/dp/1538517086" target="_blank">Fight Doctor</a>.” Now at first I thought my memoir about surviving domestic violence would not be a good fit for a memoir about boxing. But we were billed as “two formidables” and took our cues from each other, reading about struggles with finding our place as women in the world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14pt;">It was a beautiful, sunny and, thankfully, not very humid day as a solid crowd gathered to hear us read. I so appreciated the nods of recognition from the local crowd as I read my story of being a masked avenger taking on sexism in the arts. As I began to talk about sexual abuse and assault, my thoughts suddenly fixated on my good friend Charles Harper, who I used to visit this area with back in the 80’s. I write about Charles in “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/MASKED-Memoirs-Guerrilla-Girl-Tour/dp/1510709436/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1536003760&sr=1-1&keywords=un%2Fmasked+by+kaz" target="_blank">UN/MASKED</a>” and felt him with me during the hard parts of my story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

These have become my signature moves and make my readings more like parties with food and party favors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Brockport’s campus is twice the size it once was but the main road through
campus was the same. It was raining when I parked illegally in the faculty
parking lot at the Fine Arts Building and dashed inside for a quick look at the
theatre department. It was deserted – none of the bustle and noise of the days
when the department boasted 200 majors. I found the main stage open – a half
painted set in the middle of the stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A floodgate of memoires opened and washed over me. Everything was eerily
familiar. I knew my next stop would be the creepy predator professor’s
old office. I had to laugh when I found it was now a janitors closet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Revenge is sweet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

me - I got to speak to students at a Women’s and Gender Studies class (with Dr.

graduating and gave me a very warm welcome back. We reminisced about the days I
was a student and there were 17 full time theatre faculty on staff. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

including (Guerrilla Girl) Anne Sexton. I had lunch and got to chat with some
amazing Women’s Studies students. I fielded smart, funny questions from an
English creative writing class (who had all ready my book). And I had the
chance to make a trip back to the <a href="http://www.liftbridgebooks.com/" target="_blank">Lift Bridge Bookstore</a> – the site of my feminist
awakening. (See <a href="https://www.amazon.com/MASKED-Memoirs-Guerrilla-Girl-Tour/dp/1510709436" target="_blank"><i>UN/MASKED</i></a> and the story of finding a copy of “Our Bodies

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Black"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It was almost
like a dream to be honest. I found myself exhausted on our way up to the
university so I slept in the car and missed the majority of the trip to the
school. However, when I finally woke up and took the time to look around I felt
like we were in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC6biTjEyZw" target="_blank">“The Notebook”</a>. The wind was strong, like it was welcoming us
into it and the grass was incredibly green and there were geese roaming on the
front lawn! This beautiful sight set the tone for the rest of the day for me. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Black"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">We were told we
would be performing for students and I immediately got nervous. What if they
were being forced to come see us? What if they are "too cool" to
participate in the audience participation!?!<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43mB4QuXGTE" target="_blank"> WHAT IF THEY ARE ON THEIR PHONESTHE WHOLE TIME!!!</a> I started to panic a bit and had to decide whether or not to
share my worries with my fellow Guerrilla Girls On Tour. Just when I was about
to share, Anne turned to me excited. She said she loved performing for younger
people because she felt like it was more of a challenge. She liked to see the
reluctance fall from their face as we made sure they were enjoying themselves.
My Goddess, she might be a genius. She was absolutely right. I think Ada might
have been having similar thoughts as I was because we both perked up after Anne
shared her view on the matter. The three of us silently agreed to MAKE these
children love us no matter what it took. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Black"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Turns out it
didn't take much! The audience was dispersed pretty far back in the theatre
which I thought made it all the more fun! We really got to yell at them and for
them to join us with full energy and excitement. We even managed to get <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">two</i> audience members to come up on stage
to help knead bread with Julia Child - a young man named Michael was just so
excited he came running right on stage even though one young woman had already
volunteered! I can say with certainty that performing at <a href="https://www.monmouth.edu/EduEvo/templates/Arts/ArtsEvent.aspx?id=40802217974" target="_blank">Monmouth University</a> (especially portraying the magnificent <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Taste-Country-Cooking-30th-Anniversary/dp/0307265609" target="_blank">Edna Lewis)</a> is
in my top 5 favorite performances. The crew was incredibly gentle and kind; the
audience was engaged; we were snacking on DELICIOUS food; and our view was to
die for. I hope to be invited back soon, if only to catch another glimpse of
their gorgeous geese greeting us in the morning. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Today I went to Monmouth university. My first
impressions were: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wow, this is the middle
of nowhere.</i> (Which was nice for this city gorilla to be able to get out and
stretch her legs in some fresh air). Also, there were <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Canada_Goose/lifehistory" target="_blank">geese</a>. Gaggles and
gaggles of them! I wanted to get out of the van and play but Anne Sexton said
that was probably not the best idea. Oh well, one day I shall live my dream of
frolicking with the wild life!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">We set up our show in a timely manner. Until our
equipment restarted and we had to redo every last sound cue over again in
record time. We hold the Guerrilla World Record in theatre tech time. GO US!
Everyone there was so nice, and very helpful! Someone had the bright idea to
use the cold outside as a place to store the cool whip. Genius. Pure Genius.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">The students at Monmouth were very quiet and they
liked to sit way in the back! I was worried that they aren’t getting enough to
eat because their food diaries (forms they all filled out of what they ate and
drank that day) were like “Chocolate, coffee, water.” That’s it! It hurt my
heart. FEED YOURSELVES MONMOUTH!!!!!! I had TWO volunteers for my bread kneading
demonstration! One of them just popped right up on stage! Delightful! MFK
Fisher’s dough was extra sticky so Anne Sexton had clumps of dough falling off
her hands all through the show. Of course, we had a good laugh about it later
(over dinner, naturally).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Hey, hey, whaddya say? Monmouth University,
you’re OK! On Monday, the other GGOTs and myself took off to Long Branch,
NJ. We crossed the NJ state line on a mission to teach some young adults
the history of women and food. (And fling some bread dough along the way.) The
staff on campus and in the Pollack theatre were such dolls - I thoroughly
enjoyed getting the show teched and wondering what the delightful stage
manager's initials "MJ" stood for. (I later decided it must be
Magic Journeyman).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">There is an abundance of audience participation
in our show, and when all the students wrote down everything they had eaten that
day, it was quite shocking. You couldn't even form a haiku with such a
limited list. Coffee and water are NOT calories, people! We must
remember to nourish our bodies as well as our minds, dear ones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Speaking of quite shocking - a high point in the
show for me was making bread with the saucy Julia Child. My<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kpEf6KdxV0" target="_blank"> dough </a>was a
utter sticky mess, and it was stuck between my fingers and under my fingernails
as I flung it about with wild abandon. If you haven't tried throwing dough
around, I highly recommend it as a stress relieving technique.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">All in all, the Monmouth <a href="http://monmouthhawks.com/" target="_blank">Hawks and Hawkettes</a> were
a splendid audience. Throughout history, women of every age and ethnic
background have helped shape history through food - be it the civil rights
movement, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage_in_the_United_States" target="_blank">women's suffrage</a> (my character <a href="https://mfkfisher.com/" target="_blank">MFK Fisher</a> had a struggle to even dine
alone in a nice restaurant as a woman in the 1930's, image that!) and chefs and
food personalities such as <a href="https://www.biography.com/people/julia-child-9246767" target="_blank">Julia Child</a> that had to cut into the fabric of the
norm to make a name for themselves in the male-dominated chef biz. I hope
that we inspired the young women and men from Monmouth University to host a
food drive or get cookin' with some activism of their own! Anything is
possible!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></div>

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,” – <a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/posters/free-stuff/" target="_blank">feminist faith</a> is something that
will jettison me into 2018.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In November I changed my
presentation of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/MASKED-Memoirs-Guerrilla-Girl-Tour/dp/1510709436" target="_blank">UN/MASKED, Memoirs of a Guerrilla Girl On Tour</a>” up a bit with
“Let’s Move the Conversation Forward to end Violence Against Women” at the
<a href="https://www.eileenfisher.com/" target="_blank">Eileen Fisher</a> shop on Madison Avenue in New York City. Yep, Eileen Fisher not
only designs gorgeous clothes and supports many organizations that promote
women and girls, they also host book events. The wonderful staff at Eileen
Fisher quickly turned the store into a reading room where I shared the darker
side of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/MASKED-Memoirs-Guerrilla-Girl-Tour/dp/1510709436" target="_blank">UN/MASKED</a>” and my surviving domestic violence. I felt blessed to be
able to share my story especially in light of the recent avalanche of news of sexual
assault in Hollywood and the mass shootings in Texas. I will close with one of
the thoughts I shared that night.</span></span></div>

my oh my oh my.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don't know about
anyone else but I've sort of always wanted to get pied in the face just like
the cartoon characters used to get on tv when I was younger. FINALLY MY DREAMS
CAMES TRUE!! I got to work with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace" target="_blank">Ada Lovelace</a> and <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/anne-sexton" target="_blank">Anne Sexton</a> to try and educate
people on the toxicity and sexist way <a href="https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/sexist-food-marketing" target="_blank">food is marketed </a>to us and the effects
that such pointed conversations of food have on all our <a href="https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/why-comparing-womens-bodies-to-food-is-sexist" target="_blank">bodies.</a> At first, I was
nervous. Really nervous. Nervous to the point where I think I was coming off as
almost mean? You know how it goes Diary; you're not sure how you’re going to be
able to be the most effective so you sort of shut down instead. Well, thank God
I had probably the most <a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/meet-the-girls/" target="_blank">intellectual and chipper ladies</a> standing in the room
with me. We chatted about our own relationships with food, politics, our
families, our INSANE daily lives and feminism. It felt like being back at camp
or something! I will always be grateful for the opportunity to have a room to

DIARY, we went to Jersey for the first time! I know we’ve been all over the
world but sometimes that means you forget what<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>your own backyard looks like ya know? The trip up there was
so charming and when we finally got there, the lovely people of <a href="http://www.wpunj.edu/wppresents/" target="_blank">William Paterson University</a> had SO MUCH FOOD WAITING FOR US!! It was honestly a dream
come true. We munched on some great snacks, had a full dinner, then performed
our latest show for a group of surprisingly responsive women and a handful of
men! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the biggest thing I’ll take away from this show is you should never under
estimate yourself. There is no telling what you can accomplish if you allow
yourself to be open to the people in the room with you and let their energy and
light fill you with your own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana";">Today I went
to Wayne New Jersey! We had this massive theatre all to ourselves! I got to do
a show about women and food! We talked about important things like body image,
and eating healthy and the relationship between food and media and gender. It
made me feel empowered. I feel like I can do anything no matter what I look
like. We also honored <a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/" target="_blank">MFK Fisher, Julia Child, and Edna Louis</a>. What amazing
women! It really made me want to learn more about women and food. It also made
me want to cook more! Actually, if I’m being honest, it really made me hungry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Well, I ditched my vodka
tonic for some bread dough at William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ over the
weekend. I'd lost my voice for the 4 days leading up to the show - I
thought of it as a forced silent retreat, minus the retreat with an emphasis on
forced. But, the show must go on, and our fearless director, <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/aphra-behn" target="_blank">Aphra Behn,</a>
said my lines as I mouthed the words and moved about the stage like a wooden
marionette all last week. We toyed with the idea of keeping it that way
as an avant garde performance art piece, but in the end, realism reigned and my
shaky voice finally came back. Just in the nick of time! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

exhilarating - going from the history of women in food, to food activism
in America, to learning a bit about 3 colorful <a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/meet-the-girls/" target="_blank">femme foodies of America</a>--unsung
heroes reclaiming power in a highly male-dominated arena. We had a better
than expected turn-out, but for a school with over 11,500 students, we were
surprised that the theatre was not more packed. If only they'd known they
would have a chance to make a baguette with Julia Child or immerse themselves
in a positive body-image Lady Gaga singalong... **sigh, sip of aforementioned
vodka tonic**<o:p></o:p></span></div>

were the quality group of proud New Jerseyans screaming "Pumpkin
Pie...Fat...Feminist" at the top of their lungs. I love the words
"Pumpkin pie" so much, I took the liberty of yelling them in lieu of
my scripted lines at the top of <i>my</i> lungs. One may interpret that
as a mistake, but I interpret it as a delicious, delectable moment of my inner
foodie ID stealing a few seconds of the show. Perhaps that will be the
subject matter of my next confessional poem. "I Will DIE... For

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt;">On the 24<sup>th</sup> I
took the train to beautiful Baltimore for the <a href="http://www.baltimorebookfestival.org/" target="_blank">Baltimore Book Festival</a> at the
Inner Harbor. It was a very hot September so I was grateful to be at one of the
air conditioned venues. Instead of giving a reading I was interviewed by the
amazing artist and activist, <a href="https://www.rahne.com/" target="_blank">Rahne Alexander.</a> Rahne arrived armed with some
great questions for me and I loved our talk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the Q and A, a young man stood up to ask if there
aren’t just better writers who happened to be white men in the universe to
which Rahne and I both responded, “No.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Touché for us. Rahne and I are big fans of <a href="http://www.venustheatre.org/" target="_blank">Venus Theatre</a> in DC
and hopefully the future will bring some sort of collaboration to support Deb
Randall and Venus in the future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Everyone gathers at an old drinking club downtown, eats pie, drinks whiskey and
listens to readings of short works about pie and/or whiskey. The stories were great and the pie delicious.

weekend). If you have not been to the Decatur Book Festival mark you calendars
for Labor Day Weekend of 2018. It is one of the best book festivals I have ever
attended – panels, conversations, readings, author signings – nonfiction,
poetry and fiction! And here is the best part – as with most book festivals it
is FREE!</span></div>

was my lunch and in the afternoon I was able to catch John T. Edge read from
his new book “<a href="https://www.decaturbookfestival.com/sessions/view/591cb02e75a09437a266a000"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Raleway-SemiBold; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">The

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">August, 13, 2017. One day after alt right, white supremacist groups organized a demonstration that turned violent in Charlottesville, Virginia, injuring many and killing counter protestor, Heather Heyer. One day after President Trump refused to condemn the Nazi flags, Nazi chants and the racism and hatred on display in Charlottesville. On this day citizens across the US expressed their own outrage via peaceful vigils, marches and rallys from New York to Seattle. In New York City, <a href="https://refusefascism.org/">RefuseFascism.org</a> organized a “<a href="https://refusefascism.org/protests-and-events/">Take to the Streets</a>” march from Columbus Circle to Trump Tower.” This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Three friends who stood side by side with me during the <a href="https://www.womensmarchnyc.com/home/">NYC Women’s March</a> in January joined me at Columbus Circle with about 200 others to listen to speeches from representatives of Refuse Fascism and <a href="http://blacklivesmatter.com/">Black Lives Matter</a>. We stood next to mothers and their children, young people and old people, all races, genders and one man wearing a yellow <a href="https://www.holocaustcenter.org/holocaust-badges">holocaust star badge</a> with “Jude” printed on it, as nearby an angry guy held up a pro Trump sign. When one of the speakers announced he had just come from Charlottesville, his voice hoarse from protesting, we huddled closer to hear his report.<br /><br />After speeches and well organized chants, we walked together down 59th Street, shouting “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” as tourists and reporters snapped photos, street vendors looked up from grilling hot dogs and hansom cabs waited with their horse drawn carriages for us to stop interfering with their business. It was a short march to Fifth Avenue where we were stopped, prohibited from going beyond 58th street to Trump Tower.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trump's racism is nothing new. White supremacists who glorify the legacy of slavery and who believe in the oppression of Black people have since been condemned by many including VA Governor<a href="https://governor.virginia.gov/"> Terry McAuliffe</a>, Charlottesville mayor, <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeSigner">Michael Signer</a> and Republicans and Democrats alike.</span></div>

The alt right, white supremacists, Nazi’s must be stopped and stood up to. This is why we all gathered with Refuse Fascism today, to march and chant and hold up signs that said “You can’t repeal and replace Democracy” and “Denounce Domestic White Terrorism.” </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">UPDATE: President Trump’s statements about the events in Charlottesville began as ambiguous. He initially failed to criticize the white supremacist’s violent behavior. A day later he read a carefully worded statement condemning hate groups, only to reverse himself again during a press conference where he made no distinction between the actions and beliefs of the Nazi’s, alt right and other racist groups and the counter protesters, blaming “both sides.” <br /><br /><br />Stand up against racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and antisemitism with your voice, your creativity, and your presence. Let us all unite against all forms of hate. Speak up when you hear white nonsense. <a href="http://www.ggontour.com/" target="_blank">Call everything like you see it</a>. We are in this together for the long haul. </span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "PT Serif"; font-size: 17.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "PT Serif";">Broadway is gearing up to
celebrate the best of the season by handing out Tony Awards to directors,
designers and performers. Many have argued that casting directors, those savvy
women and men who find the talent for Broadway plays and musicals, should be recognized
in a new Tony category – Best Casting.
But casting directors are currently seeking another kind of acknowledgment
– the right to unionize. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "PT Serif"; font-size: 17.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "PT Serif";">Workers on Broadway have long
been member of unions. Actors, stage manager, directors, choreographers, technicians,
ushers, and even press agents are represented by 17 Broadway unions. The
inspiration for many of these unions came from exploited workers wishing to
prevent producers from taking advantage of them. There are now limits to the
number of hours an actor can rehearse and who owns the rights to a play or
musical a producer helps to develop, all because actors and playwrights are
represented by strong unions and guilds. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "PT Serif"; font-size: 17.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "PT Serif";">Casting directors who work in
film and television have only recently been provided protection by the
Teamsters union which negotiates contracts for them. When a casting director
casts a movie they receive benefits like health care coverage, pension plans
and a decent wage. About a year ago, 40 Broadway casting directors took a nod
from their film and television counterparts to become members of Theatrical
Teamsters Local 817. They asked the Broadway League, the bargaining
organization that recognizes all of Broadway’s unions, to recognize them. The
League declined, stating in a letter that casting directors were “…independent
contractors…separate businesses with their own employees and typically work on
more than one show at a time within and outside our industry.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "PT Serif"; font-size: 17.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "PT Serif";">Yet, the Broadway League depends
heavily on casting directors who usually become involved in plays and musicals
at the critical early stage, when a shows development rests on getting the best
actors on the team. Casting directors are the conduit between producers and
celebrities, those unionized stars who can guarantee the financial backing of a
production. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "PT Serif"; font-size: 17.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "PT Serif";">During the 2016/17 season almost
13 million people attended Broadway shows which grossed almost a billion and a
half dollars. It was the highest grossing season in Broadway history and the
second-best attended season on record. So why is the Broadway League pushing
back against adding the all-important casting directors to the list of unions
the League negotiates with? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "PT Serif"; font-size: 17.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "PT Serif";"> </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'PT Serif'; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "PT Serif"; font-size: 17.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "PT Serif";">Right now only 12% of the
musicals on Broadway are directed by women - members of the stage directors
union. There is just one women out of the eight nominations for a Tony for Scenic
Design and two women out of the eight nominations for Best Lighting Design.
Broadway designers are represented by United Scenic Artists. There are zero women
nominated for Best Orchestrations whose nominees are all members of the
Musicians Union. About half of the 40 or so Broadway casting directors seeking
recognition from the League are women. In an industry notorious for its lack of
women in top positions, it makes sense that the occupation with no benefits and
low wages, the casting director, would have 50% women employed. When you think
about it, these casting directors are presenting producers with an opportunity
to creep towards greater gender parity on Broadway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "PT Serif"; font-size: 17.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "PT Serif";">The Tony Awards are co-produced
by the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. As you watch the actors,
directors and designers accept their Tony Awards on Sunday night, remember they
all have a strong labor association behind them. Perhaps there has never been a
Tony for casting because it would force producers to acknowledge the value and
input casting directors have on their continued success and, like the other
nominees, recognize and negotiate with the union which represents them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

2016/17 tour came to a close in May when I headed to Southern California and

Violence</span></a><span style="color: #313131;"> in Los Angeles. These are the women and men who
answer the LA Rape and Battery Hot Line, lead seminars in ending violence in
classrooms and educate via sharing their own personal experiences. It was a
very special evening for me to be back where I began my journey - in 1989 I
began my training at Peace Over Violence as a volunteer on the Hot Line. You
can read about how Patti Giggans of Peace Over Violence was a pivotal influence
for me to wind up as an </span><a href="http://guerrillagirlsontour.com/"><span style="color: #420178;">activist artist</span></a><span style="color: #313131;"> in </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MASKED-Memoirs-Guerrilla-Girl-Tour/dp/1510709436"><i><span style="color: #420178;">UN/MASKED, Memoirs of a Guerrilla Girl On Tour.</span></i></a><i style="color: #313131;"> </i><span style="color: #313131;">Thank
