Empowered because she named some of these gifts:

Empowered because she valued my contribution to life.
Empowered because she encourages the subtle activist as much as the front-line protestor.
Many of the textile figures and art I create
are an invitation to both myself and others

to react;
to bring about change
one person at a time.
