And the beat goes on!!

It feels good to be back in the midst of it all after nearly a week away in Colorado Springs at the 8th annual White Privilege Conference. This intensive four day battery of non-stop workshops, focusing on a myriad of anti-bias issues, was attended by some of the biggest names in social justice work: Peggy MacIntosh, Paul Kivel, Allan Johnson, Dr. Jamie Washington, Kevin Jennings, Paula Rothenberg, Jean Kilbourne, James Loewens…to name only a few! I came away with renewed commitment to equity work and will be sharing many of my new and renewed insights with the class in the days/weeks to come. In the past two days we’ve been getting down to business vis-à-vis our Production. We’ve generated a shot list, determined locations, created a prop list and envisioned our costumes. We’re also rehearsing vignettes and will begin practice filming as early as Thursday, with formal filming beginning on Monday. To that end we will be calling upon all our favorite chauffeurs to help us get to our various locations…we’ll let you know just as soon as we know! Thanks in advance for your willingness to help us out with this logistics nightmare…err…I mean challenge!!
