Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

[Régine Michelle Jean-Charles <>]

Dear colleagues,

I am writing once again to let you know about the important work we
are doing at A LONG WALK HOME, INC.  for 2009.  A LONG WALK HOME is a
non profit organization that  uses art therapy and the visual and
performance arts to document, to educate and to bring about social
change.  Below you will find the schedule for our performances of
Story of A Rape Survivor (SOARS)  for the year.

Considered one of the most innovative and entertaining programs of its
kind, SOARS documents Salamishah Tillet's personal journey of
surviving and healing from sexual violence by featuring a diverse cast
of women who use modern dance, spoken-word, music, and photography to
retell this universal story of triumph and hope. Due to growing
popularity, SOARS has been invited to a number of college campuses for
Black History, Women's History, and Sexual Assault Awareness Months
(February, March, and April respectively).  See the schedule below for
specific tour dates, times and locations (we are always adding more
tour dates, so please check out website http://www.alongwalkhome.org,
or you can join the Facebook group SOARS to obtain regular updates.

Please circulate the information below widely and help us to impact
others through this captivating story of healing from sexual assault.
Also if you would like to support the movement in another way you can
participate in our fundraiser by purchasing a "Got Consent?" T-shirt
via our website.  As always I want to thank you so much in advance for
your encouragement and for partnering in this important work!

In solidarity,
Régine
