I think this sums up everything!

The Long Oregon Trail . . .

So, my wonderfully amazing friend Sunny has done it again y'all. I used her Oregon Women's Suffrage presentation for the International Women's Day workshop I put on at Eastern Oregon University. I had wonderful feedback!

I had three attendees, sad number, but they were all very informed when they left me. We talked about some of my faves: Abigail Scott Duniway, Vera Katz, Barbara Roberts, to name a few. I think overall I helped some very ambitious women learn about the Trailblazers of Women's Suffrage in Oregon.

I think that the way they left the presentation with confidence and a will to make change will reflect in our community. It also reflects upon all the hard work Sunny has done!

I don't thank her enough, and I know the Center for Women, Politics, and Policy should probably thank her more as well! She is a Trailblazers herself, as soon as her curriculum is mandatory in Oregon schools I will definitely brag about being one of the first to teach it! It changed my entire outlook on teaching.

I now know I need to help make every student who walks through my door connect to the material no matter the cost to my sanity. Just like I am trying to do now with my seventh graders. However, the Brazilian hip-hop dance video may have done the trick today!

Until later, keep it classy, brassy, and ever so sassy!
