NYC-based filmmaker Amy DePaola asked me to be a guest on her fantastic new podcast Pink Among Men. We spoke for an hour about Creating Feminist Media, my recent documentary, religion, mentorship, motherhood, and more. If you want to know more about me and what motivates my work, give it a listen below. I also recommend subscribing to Amy's podcast. It's great.

FAITH: LDS YOUNG WOMEN'S JEOPARDY!

8/24/2014

1 Comment

 
I mentor young women ages 12-17 as part of my faith practice. We meet together every Sunday and Wednesday. Heading back to graduate school means I won't see my girls mid-week (I have class that night). To make sure I left a "I promise I care about you" vibe, I hosted YW-themed Jeopardy!, complete with prizes from the dollar store (including a plastic hot dog slicer). Serious abuse of work printing privileges made for a fun night had by all. 

The girls really enjoyed it, so I thought I would share for anyone who also struggles with activities.

CREATIVITY (AND FAITH): AMATEUR ADVENTURES IN PHOTOSHOP.

7/11/2014

1 Comment

 
I have recently been called upon to plan all sorts of random church events. And what do random church events require? Random church flyers (oh, the never-ending charms of lay ministry). As such, I have had to use Photoshop A LOT. It seems I have a natural eye for design and layout but BOY HOWDY am I lacking in technical skill. As a teenager, I taught myself Photoshop so I could resize photos and add text (with shadows!) and... well... that's about it. Brian has taught me a bit more, but DUDE. It takes me ninety years to create the simplest thing. Here are a few of my creations.

WHAT I LEARNED IN FIVE MINUTES WITH MARGARET ATWOOD.

I met Margaret Atwood before a screening of The Handmaid's Tale at the Brattle Theatre. She taught me about taking time for people... there a ton of people around and it was like I was the only person in the room. A few of her comments that I immediately wrote down: 

"everyone has a religion, whether they admit to it or not""...and it doesn't even matter if it's true. That's not really what it's about."

"I was always waiting for religion to make a comeback and oh! Here it is."

Two book recommendations: God, a Biography and Evolution of God

"Two camps of humans and the earth: there's the people who think they have DOMINION over the earth and everything that is here is theirs ... AND then there's the people of Adam, that we're the STEWARDS of the Earth and it is our job to take care of it" (I imagine this is her camp.)

FAITH: BEHOLD WITH GREAT SORROW.

5/22/2014

For they saw and beheld with great sorrow that the people of the church began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world, that they began to be scornful, one towards another, and they began to persecute those that did not believe according to their own will and pleasure.

Alma 4:8

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

FAITH: THE GOODNESS OF THE CHURCH.

12/7/2013

0 Comments

 
And, in spite of occasional disagreements with practice or policy, in spite of occasional frustration and hurt, and in spite of the weekly challenges of being a liberal, intellectual Latter-day Saint in a conservative, often anti-intellectual church community, because of my wish for the Church as it is to be more like the Church as it should be and because of a lifelong experience of finding love and goodness there, I give the church my allegiance and devotion, not mindlessly but mindfully, and with full heart and voice.

Robert Rees, The Goodness of the Church

How much terrible torture this thirst for faith has cost me and costs me even now, which is all the stronger in my soul the more arguments I can find against it.

Fyodor Dostoevsky
