Just finished a great dinner with Alina and Colin Hortman at Bleu Duck - so figured it’s time to share my full length You Tube video of ‘Stories from MN: We Belong.’ April 19 event at Rochester Civic Theater benefitting ACHLA & SMIILD.
This event took a lot of my energy for the two months between concept and fruition and I was on such a high…I admit it’s a bit depressing to come down from that high. When I watch this video I’m a bit embarrassed by my hyper activity!
I’ve felt especially protective of Colin and haven’t wanted to be insensitive to any vulnerability he’s shared. But he’s on board with ‘put this out to the world and the more people who hear this message, the better.’ So here it is.
If you are watching this video and don’t want to sit through 2+ hours, here is the order of performers / speakers:
Kory May, De’Angilo Funches, Annie Wiborg, Rawhi Said, Aida Martinez-Freeman , Jane Behrends, Colin Hortman, Eav Ngov, Tom Horner, and Alison McGhee.
Personally, I’m looking to produce and host more events. Colin is open to speaking engagements. Don’t hesitate to contact me with ideas, requests, etc.
