“Guess what I use for a bean bag? A raisin.” I am officially smitten with Marcel. Still laughing out loud after watching this an embarrassing number of times.

This is a fabulous poem and performance: a really fascinating integration of hand-drawn illustration, video, music, and poetry. The sort of piece I hope to eventually produce for stories told within the Bittersweet Zine. Janet Oberholtzer recently posted this video on her blog and, after watching it a couple times, I just HAD to share it with you.

Driven by faith to intelligently engage in the critical issues of our day, we want to know: What can we do to help combat human trafficking? Join us at Busboys & Poets on July 22 from 6:30-8:30pm.

Women of Global Action is a Christian non-profit that exists to educate women on social issues concerning women and children around the world. WOGA is a network of 150,000 women worldwide with eight US-based chapters, of which the DC Chapter has just started and is hosting its first event (focused on trafficking + sexual exploitation) on July 22nd. The DC Chapter specifically is a community of women, driven by faith to affect change, intelligently engage in and understand the critical social issues of our day.

We are thrilled to have Andrea Powell [Executive Director, FAIR Fund], Bethany Hoang [Director of the IJM Institute], Candace Wheeler [Founder & President, Restoration Ministries], and Supei Liu [Director of Business & Product Development, Nomi Network] all come together to address the central question: What can we do to help combat human trafficking?

This is the first of three WOGA events Bittersweet is sponsoring in 2010 (next are in Sept, Nov). Hope to see/meet you at Busboys on the 22nd!
