Why We Must Stop Believing Pain and Illness Are Punishments for Our Mistakes

This webinar will be led by performance artist, educator, and Faerie Goddess Mermaid Gangsta for the Revolution, Vanessa Rochelle Lewis. Vanessa is from South Central Los Angeles and loves to be silly, whimsical, imaginative, weird, loving and sensual in public – every chance she gets.

Vanessa will be leading us in a conversation about the power, freedom, and joyful abandon that you invite and center in your life when you choose to Reclaim Your U.G.L.Y  (Uplift Glorify Love Yourself) from the cruel, capitalistic, and judgmental gaze of the white supremacist, cis-hetero-patriarchy. More than anything, she wants you to enjoy your life, your body, and your friendships as you work to make this world a better place for us all.

We are so grateful and excited that Vanessa will be leading our webinar! You won’t want to miss this chance to think and learn about women’s issues through a playful and personal lens.

All Making-Visible webinars are curated by Adriana Arizpe and Annie Mahon.
