Whirlwind Wrap-up

WHEW!

It's been quite a few weeks for me. Let this gif speak for me:

• An essay on #365FeministSelfie and domestic violence was published at the Daily Dot.  
• The Love Her, Love Her Not reading at Women and Children First was a smashing success. At least from my POV as we had a full room, great conversation and I looked out to many friendly faces. 
• Before our great reading, Joanne Bamberger (our fearless leader & editor!) & I made an appearance on WGN-TV Midday News. Not only was I proud to represent the book on my hometown TV station, but I geeked out at all the Bozo memorabilia that was in the studio. AND..AND....Steve Sanders was super into the book.
• A few weeks earlier, I was also part of a Love Her, Love Her Not reading in Bethesda that was covered by CSPAN Book TV. A totally different crowd, but still a great conversation. 
• Truthout commissioned an analysis of the sexism that has been a major part of the 2016 campaign on the GOP side. 
• I launched the first of many essays about the 2016 presidential race for Bitch Media. If you see anything in pop culture that you think I should cover, send it my way!  
• I gave a well received lecture at my campus on the history of feminist blogs. 
• The latest news is that I was invited to be on the Latinas in STEM panel at the 34th Annual USHLI Conference. If you plan to be there, please let me know! 

I feel like I forgot something and well, that's how much of a whirlwind the first few weeks of 2016 has been. For transparency sake, it hasn't all been ups, but for privacy sake, the downs are communicated in person. Over bourbon.  Or cupcakes.
