The first time I saw this video, I wasn’t sure I liked it. So dark, moody, gritty. Is that really the right message to be sending? But then I really, really liked it, and the reason surprised me. I liked it because it’s angry. Because this isn’t right, and isn’t fair, and shouldn’t happen to […]

A few weeks ago Scott and I were interviewed for a Go Red for Women video, to be used at a fundraising event later this month. Here’s the trailer. (I’m not in it; this is to maintain the mystery, I’m told.) I won’t see the full video until I’m sitting right in the audience with […]
