There’s all this controversy these days about “pray the gray away.” What’s the big deal? If I could have my luxurious, silky brown head of hair back, I’d pray until my folded fingers bled. Perhaps this movement started because baby boomers are quickly reaching old age. I don’t know, but it makes little sense to […]
This is the story of Col. Pat Thompson and Barbara Brass and the making of Surviving the Silence. In November of 2013, Col. Pat Thompson and I, her wife, Barbara Brass, decided to share our story of living in the invisible world of LGBT members of the US Military. We were the keynote speakers for […]

I created this complimentary, informative, fun, three day tele-summit to inspire heart centered, health-oriented LBTQ women who are ready to come together to find and keep Lasting Lesbian Love! I hand picked 12 experts to interview who – like myself – are leaders and like-hearted LBTQ women and allies who specialize in serving the world […]
Being lesbian is a religion. It’s feast, fast or famine. It’s on our knees begging at the altar between her knees. It’s our tribe, our gaggle of gay girls and our fighting to be included in some social club, meetup, Facebook Group, marriage rights, equal rights and more or hiding in social awkwardness afraid of […]
Calling All You Bastards, the Fatherless, the Forgotten. “Do you want to write your father?” My mother asked on the 33rd birthday. I didn’t have an immediate reply and she continued, “I have an address for him in Guyana.” My last memory: I’m three years old. He came for a visit and I remember the […]
NOW OPEN! SCARLET CITY ESPRESSO BAR 3960 Adeline St. in Emeryville. What Feminism Means to Jen: Being a Feminist has definitely changed meaning for me over the years.
