2017 a recap

 

Wow, so much to catch up on! Getting through 2017 so 2018 can happen BEFORE December. 

January 2017: Started with a night of traditional storytelling on DEC 30th thanks to Doria Hughes "Get Folked" show. We got snow shoes for Xmas and we had snow soon after. Magical! I had a residency teaching third graders for YA and was invited to be a member organizer for SEIU509.  I also had been invited back to Tokyo to lecture on storytelling and was able to visit with dear friends Mitsue and Bruce.  I learned to chant "Build bridges, Not walls! Peace and Justice for us all." in Japanese when Bruce and I joined the Women's March in Tokyo.  Came back to the travel ban, teaching at Lesley University and starting my job for SEIU. Crazy busy January!

February: Started working for the union... fell of the radar.

March: More work, more teaching.

April:Worked a lot and combined union work and storytelling at the first ever faculty story slam at Club Passim.  Tales Out of School - Adjunct Story Slam pt.2 of 2

May: Worked a lot, more teaching and union work.
