Fab Contributor Update
Patti and I are very proud and supportive of the women we feature in our guest columns each month. We've already compiled quite a beautiful array of stories and are excited to be adding more inspiring, funny, touching, and daring stories to our roster. To continue our celebration of these fabulous women, we will be posting ongoing contributor updates in this column.
Our October columnist, Kamala Lopez ("Picture Perfect") is a film-maker and actress who just completed an important and inspiring film about America's first congresswoman, peace activist, and co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, Jeannette Rankin, entitled, "A Single Woman." In our blurb last month, we noted that Congressman Dennis Kucinich had offered to host a congressional screening of her film.
Our October columnist, Kamala Lopez ("Picture Perfect") is a film-maker and actress who just completed an important and inspiring film about America's first congresswoman, peace activist, and co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, Jeannette Rankin, entitled, "A Single Woman." In our blurb last month, we noted that Congressman Dennis Kucinich had offered to host a congressional screening of her film.
The film will be screening at the Capitol Building on October 30th and Kamala is working hard to prepare for this event. Funds are running low after paying for hotel rooms for her production team and sending out invitations to 535 congressional offices. Kamala would love to get sponsors and donors. We are putting a shout out to the DTBF community and inviting you to contact her if you'd like to lend her your support. Please check out the film's website (above) and contact Kamala if you'd like to help.
Gloria Steinem's Op-Ed piece on Sarah Palin was also linked in our last column. We're indulging by sharing that link here again. (Gloria's DTBF story will be featured at a later date!)
Continuing with the political theme, Granny D just gave a speech in Wisconsin on Sept. 6. She's 97 years old, folks, and she's still going strong in her pursuit to change politics as we know it. Her big issue? Campaign finance reform. Read Granny D's DTBF story, an excerpt from her book, "Walking Across America in my 90th Year."
Julia Butterfly Hill ("Heart") started a blog earlier this year. It's subtitled, "Thoughts, Experiences, Feelings and Photos from Julia Butterfly Hill." Read her blog and post your comments!
Dianne Reeves ( ("Talking to the Devil") has a new album of love songs entitled, "When You Know." Watch an excerpt from Dianne's recent BBC appearance.
Michelle Shocked is going on a concert tour in the U.K. in November. She will be in the U.S. of A. in January, 2009. (Michelle's DTBF story will be featured at a later date.)
Terri Lyne Carrington( "Full Circle.") is performing with her own jazz group, appropriately called the Terri Lyne Carrington Group, and their next gig will be at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. on October 18th.
Celebrating her 50th birthday last month was Renel Brooks-Moon ( "Finding My Voice."). She celebrated in style with Bay Area VIP's at her home away from home, San Francisco's AT&T Park. You can link to a photo gallery from the birthday bash on her website.
Jill Robinson ( "Her Name was Hong") is continuing the arduous and vital work of helping the animals after China's recent earthquake. She is working diligently and needs our help. You can support her efforts by donating to her organization, Animals Asia.
As we add fabulous women to our DTBF contributor roster, our updates will continue to come.
DTBF!
