I am headed back to the Bay. This month I will be putting on my one-person show, “(Re)Counting (Wo)Man” at the Two-Spirit Festival, Weaving Spirits in San Francisco on Saturday, March 7th at 7 PM. I am super excited about this show as I am trying some new things- combining poetry with images and film and storytelling. I have done this type of multi-media show before but always with other artists, never alone. This time all the words and all the images are mine. My only collaborators are spirits. In my show I explore Seminole history, gender, sexuality, hybridity, and ceremony. I am speaking to and for so many camps to which I belong. Unfortunately, this show has interfered with my monthly Women of Color Medicine Series and I have had to cancel the March 7th cere-class. However, I am offering a new workshop, Medical Intuition, this Sunday March 1st at YogaLove in Oakland 2-5 PM to make up for it. Tickets on Eventbrite. The most difficult part about writing this show is the way it is influenced by my ancestors and my desire to honor them. Some ancestors are mentioned by name, others are not. They all want to be heard... what to do? I hope to do them proud. I hope to tell their stories. I hope to be a living record memorializing their lives. I would love to se some friendly faces in the audience.
