Tell us about your first Femme Show
I was not sure of what to expect. All of these feeling were rushing around in me. The energy backstage was so amazing! All of these strong and talented people doing such great things around me was almost too much to take. I do remember feeling a sense of divine-ness. Not just because all of the Femme Show performers are indeed divine in our own ways 
But, because I felt like I was finally in the right place at the right time.
What have you been up to since October?
Traveling to the Dominican Republic, baking lots of cakes, playing on the defensive line for my football team (Lava), performing in Queer Soup’s “Writer’s Speakeasy:Gender Icons” and announcing roller derby for the Boston Derby Dames as “Lady Oshun”
Why do you think the Femme Show is important?
The Femme Show has allowed me to be a part of creating this awesome space where artists are encouraged to explore and challenge their own ideas and expressions of identity in a supportive environment. A rare opportunity for many performers. Radical queer femmes often find ourselves alienated from mainstream femme discourse. The Femme Show gives us voice like no other and is a movement that will take over the WORLD!! It’s amazing, these things that we are doing with the show are so much bigger than us. We spark a fire in people. The Femme Show inspires, starts conversations, educates…and if nothing else we give you a damn good SHOW!
What are you most excited about for the Femme Show in 2010?
I’m excited about getting to develop my work-in-progress and taking some new risks. Also, to welcome “newbies” to the Femme Show family!
What is your favorite thing to do onstage? Least favorite?
Favorites: Dance, tell jokes, spoken word
Least favorite: There isn’t much that I won’t do onstage…
