Day 1/3 of media training @comebystjames done. I so enjoy accompanying people thru process of finding media tactics that work for them.

Amazing to be in SF and hearing about the success of @RedUmbrellaProj's first improv storytelling workshop w/ Ceyenne + Nicolette. Go team!

One of the things I'm excited about this spring: releasing a @RedUmbrellaProj 35 pg media tactics guide for sex workers at the end of March
Working on syllabus for @RedUmbrellaProj spring memoir workshop. Recommendations for readings? Short stuff, recently pub'd, diverse writers
Turning my notes from #nycondoms coalition meeting into to-do list. Trainings, video, advocacy postcards, lobby day on tap for this spring!
