No matter where we live, we’re surrounded by HiddenHerStories and MOREStories about people who’ve made our place on the planet better. I search for and spotlight hidden women and other overlooked folks wherever I visit and of course, where I live. I want public histories to be truly complete so we can celebrate ALL the people who’ve made our communities shine.
Check out upcoming stories and walking tours and talks that focus on my new home in Maryland adjacent DC, and explorations near and far on the East Coast. You’ll find plenty of awesome central Texas changemakers here from my 33 years there.
Circle back to find new hidden sheroes from around the world such as bitchin’ historical Amsterdam women and rad Rocky Mountain rebels.
And I hope you’ll be inspired to dig up and share stories of awesome overlooked people in your own community and family! Help educate our communities about our diverse past and future changemakers.
HUNGRY FOR HERSTORY?
Join me in upcoming walks to trace the Montgomery County, Maryland, footsteps of luminary labor activist Mother Jones. And amble along as we honor civil rights legend Edith Throckmorton at her park and Ken-Gar neighborhood next to Kensington, Maryland.
After (or before) HUNGRY FOR HERSTORY walks, we grab a bite together and chat about ordinary and extraordinary women. Come feed your mind and body with like-minded folks!
