International Women's Day 2016


Our theme at Outermost Community Radio for this year's 24 hours of International Women's Day programming is Untold Stories/Amazing Legacies. We are celebrating with original programming (and Democracy Now) and all women DJs.

This is our tentative schedule thus far. I belong to the 3-person core IWD Committee. I'm super excited to be bringing educational and diverse women's voices to the radio for a fantastic day!

In addition to the schedule below, several 5-Minute Cape Cod Women’s History Segments from Susan Lindquist will be plugged in. Women are underrepresented in every sector of our society, in every institution. From government to the music industry, there is a huge dearth. The climate for women in those places is largely toxic and exploitative. In our small way we hope to bring women's history and stories to the forefront, because the more we are seen and heard, the more empowered we become, and the greater personal and societal changes can be made. Women's stories and history is systematically suppressed and buried in our cultural narrative.

Brazilian Music with Cla da Bossa Nova


Super excited the talented that Rayssa Ribeiro (pronounced Hy-issa He-berro) and Tad Price of Cla da Bossa Nova will be performing on Healing Wisdom this Thursday morning at 9am ET on WOMR 92.1 fm in Ptown and streaming at http://womr.org

Looking forward to my upcoming poetry feature on February 13th at 1pm at the Brewster Ladies Library. Come one, come all. We have live music with guitarist Claudia Wellington and cellist Ellen Waters Sullivan. Carole A. Stasiowski will be the spotlight performer. There will be a music and poetry sign up.

Also, collaborating with some musicians. Hoping it goes well. Inhabiting songs is like channeling ghosts. It can be a quintessential experience of surrender. Like laying in the middle of a Medieval Cathedral and feeling the pensive saints with piercing eyes and the majestic angels in flight. Rainbow sunshine speckling the tears and sweat soaked wooden benches. The incantations and mumbled prayers layered like lacquer from centuries of belief and disbelief. The ecstatic evocations and moans of humanity ascending and descending, inhaling and exhaling. Falling in love with art. Being enveloped by beauty.

Cronos told me that I need to revisit my interest in writing Ophelia as a sword wielding tart. Someday.

Neptune says, if you haven't been to the bottom of the sea and back, you haven't really lived. But he would say that.
