The Good Men Project
Kathryn leads two discussion calls for The Good Men Project every week.
Monday she leads the Love, Sex, Etc. call. She researches all topics related to love, sex and relationships. She has moderated calls with various topics under that heading, using research and personal experiences. The topics range from Sexual Identiy to Hard Conversations to Feminism/Womanism.
She also host the #StopRacism. Finding topics from the headlines, she deftly breaks down and explains racism, misogynoir, micro/macro aggressions and how her audience can be an ally to racial justice. Always lively, interesting and informative conversations.
Angry Black Woman 101
While working, yet another temp job, feeling underused and under valued, Angry Black Woman 101 was born.
Angry Black Woman 101 is a solo show that takes an introductory dive into the microaggressions, tropes and misogynoir Black women deal with in the workplace and in society at large.
This show is couched in a truthful and hurtful work situation during my tenure at TechSoup, a local nonprofit. My experience illustrates the concept of Black women suffering through microaggressions, being micromanaged, held under higher scrutiny at work. How their well being and safety is never a consideration. How white women’s tears are used to deflect and disenfranchise Black women.
Interspersed throughout the show are vignettes, stories, poetry and media pieces to illustrate the topic of the crossroads of misogyny and racism that Black women have to navigate daily: at work, at school, on the street, at the market.
I celebrate the tenacity of Black women, in spite of all. I rejoice in the knowledge that we still manage to survive and thrive as marginalized citizens in this society.
Fat Flash Mob
Creating ways to express herself as a performer and activist, Kathryn organized The Fat Flash Mob, and co-choreographed with Alana Jane of the Big Moves Dance Troupe.
This celebration of Body Diversity was realized on the 3rd Annual International Health and Fitness Month and, in particular, International No Diet Day on May 6th. The Fat Flash Mob was performed several times in San Francisco: The famous Cable Turn Around on Market Street, The Castro neighborhood and Dolores Park. Additionally, several flash mobs were performed around the country: in Los Angeles, California, Miami, Florida and Boston, Massachusetts on the same day at the same time.
Here are some reviews of the event from Julie Wyman, SF Weekly, Dr. Deah's Body Shop, and Chris Cheng.A documentary film capturing The Fat Flash Mob,named FatMob, was directed by Julie Wyman and premiered at the SF DocFest’s Shorts 3: Bad Ass Women, and screened at the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival, DocsDF in Mexico City, Atlanta DocuFest.
