Recovering from writer’s block and exhaustion slowly but surely so here’s a long overdue first of a few upcoming posts about the One Billion Rising Memphis rally I helped organize last month, starting with a video and a huge thank you to everyone who participated, and a recap of my reading.
Thoroughly exhausted but inspired by my epic week organizing and participating in One Billion Rising - Memphis. Check me out hooping in this awesome video of our event. Hoop! Dance! Rise!
