I was honored to be a guest on the Island of Discarded Women last night and even happier to share the night with the whole Women’s March MN team – and delighted to see ERAMN too! Host, Sue Scott curated guests who had leaned into community during Operation Metro Surge, including:
- The main guest was Jillian Hiscock, owner of A Bar of Their Own, which features women’s sports and a great foundation that supports women and kids in sports.
- Musical guest was Sarah Morris, with her amazing voice and forever focus on something good.
- Stephanie March came to speak about The Salt Cure Restaurant Recovery Fund.
- Singing with Katie Eckeberger, from Singing Resistance, brought me back to some Target demonstrations and musical marches to Minneapolis City Hall.
- I always love the stories – in song and prose – by IODW cast Dae Yang & Zippy Laske.
Sue made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Once we got talking, I wasn’t even that nervous. I took away two themes from the night. First, everyone has a talent to share – singing, organizing, showing up, raising money, throwing dildos at the Whipple building and the crazy list goes on. Everyone’s talent is important and valued, often because is unique and always when it’s shared with a full heart. Second, community is our reward and our salvation!
I’ll share the published podcast once it’s done.
