In Her Image workshop
I’ve been lucky enough to present this program and facilitate accompanying workshops nationwide for the past five years at schools, conferences, clinics, and universities.  Now, to continue this work toward social change, I need some funding!  So a few days ago, I applied to the Nau Collective’s Grant for Change.  This grant is exciting not only because it’s funded by a collective (oh how we love collectives), but also because it’s partly decided by public vote — which is where you come in! Please help fund “In Her Image” by logging in and giving 5 stars on the “rate/share” tab!

Thanks so much for taking a second to vote by August 31st. :)   There’s also a “share” feature — if you want to help spread the word about voting that would be amazing too.

And while you’re there, I highly recommend checking out the other projects that have been nominated.  Every single one of them is totally inspiring, rekindle-your-hope-for-humanity type material…
