Theme: This Little Light of Mine: Stories of Hope

This month, we invited our superstar line-up to share with us a story of hope—something big or small that gave them a reason to have faith in this terrible world. Maybe they found hope in a practice, or a place, or some hard-won personal growth. Their little light of hope might be tied to the emotional, the political, the social, or the sexual (you know we love a sexy story at Generation Women!). Whatever our line-up cares to share, you can expect our usual blend of warmth and wisdom from performers of all ages, here to provide some inspiration and insight as we journey through this mad thing called life.
