Change Your Day

A revitalized blog with one mission: to present a moment that jolts your day, triggers new thinking, gets you through traffic tangles, and relieves job stress. Or, more prosaically, accompanies you through the early miles of bike touring through France and Italy. Wherever you are, I aim to change your day.

MARIE EQUI Welcomed at San Francisco Public Library

10/9/2015

 
At a time when writers and other artists struggle to remain in San Francisco, the James C. Hormel Gay & Lesbian Center – and the SF Public Library overall – provides a welcome refuge and nurturing haven with community space to present their work. I have used the Center’s resources to fill in the details of Marie Equi’s medical training and her several visits to San Francisco. Last night I was honored to present MARIE EQUI to twenty-five people at the Center.
 
At my talks I’m especially pleased when members of the audience thank me for bringing to light the important, engaging story of Marie Equi. Several people remark that they appreciate the context I present with Equi being one of the marginalized people whose stories seldom appear. Last night several women thanked me for profiling a lesbian since their life stories have been less frequently researched or written. I’m honored to do so.
 
My thanks to all who attended last night. 
 
NEXT UP:  Wed, Oct. 14, 1pm, Interview on KGGV 95.1 FM Guerneville, CA with host Gerry Takano as part of the “Beneath the Waves” program (starts at noon)
