This being said, I JUST read your post about doing a workshop and I didn't know you were in NY for all of July. I am very sad about that because having you at Sadie Nash would have been INCREDIBLE!!!! Next time ..!

- Hey Alexis,
Do you have any cool ideas for interactive feminist workshops for teenage girls? Do you have any materials/resourceful online sites you could pass on to me? Thanks. I'm working for Sadie Nash in Newark this summer and I want to make it the best summer ever for the girls!
