Chavela Vargas - La Llorona 10/09/2023

In honor of International Le***an Day, I encourage you to check out the music and the life of Chavela Vargas. She lived into her 90s and had many stories to tell. In fact, she wrote a book about it.

According to NPR, "Chavela Vargas was a cultural icon across the Spanish-speaking world, with a voice that redefined notions of beauty and an attitude that brashly bent gender roles."

For me, she is a reminder to live my truth and her songs will always evoke emotion in a way I didn't know was possible. To say that she sang with feeling is an understatement. May she rest in power.

In honor of Women's History Month, I want to take a moment to celebrate two incredible individuals, Tika Scott and Marcia BaczynskiI. They are making history now as they make the wonder a bit safer for everyone, especially women/ underrepresented groups. They have written an incredibly rich book in which they "challenge common assumptions about consent and coercion, and invite educators of all walks to become instigators of a profound culture shift." If you are an educator, please consider this required reading. If you are an organizer, consider grabbing a copy to better support your event attendees. If you are working to define your boundaries or processing a consent violation, this can be a tremendous help. Follow the link below to learn more and to purchase your copy.

For those who don't know, Tika is a brilliant consent educator who has traveled the world with her Creating Consent Culture Organization. Marcia is one of the original creators of Cuddle Party, so we have her to thank for those amazing agreements. She now facilitates workshops empowering folx to ask for what they want. I am honored to call both of them friends and so grateful to know that the world is a better place because they are in it.
