I made Brooke Swallow's acquaintance when I attended a presentation by an Ex-mormon "luminary" at UVU a few years ago. She's the real thing as far as helping protect young co-eds from boorish Mormon males--and non-Mormon males, too--whose behavior at BYU--and UVU--has been well-documented here.
This one is marked for public release, so I'm just passing it on. I'm doubtful I'll be able to attend (sorry Danites), although if a group of Salt Lake exmo's wants to take up a collection and hire a taxi, I might be willing to cut 'em a deal, possibly with a stop at some SLC venue for some serious loud laughter and WOW violations. Circumstances permitting...

This special benefit performance is presented this year as part of V-Day’s campaign ONE BILLION RISING: REVOLUTION, a global initiative that began three years ago as a call for women survivors of violence to Rise and demand an end to violence. In 2016, Risings will focus on highlighting, creating and envisioning new, brave and radical artistic initiatives to bring in the new revolutionary world of equality, dignity and freedom for all women and girls.
