Workshop at Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls

For those who haven't heard of Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls, its a summer camp devoted to empowerment for young women through the sheer power of ROCK.
check them out at: http://www.williemaerockcamp.org/

We are thrilled to be involved with Willie Mae, and presented a workshop about Not Your Mother's Meatloaf at camp this summer. The workshop engaged teens in discussions on comic making, self expression, and issues of sexual health and sexuality.

We'd like to say THANK YOU to Willie Mae Rock Camp and to all those who participated in this workshop!
