help rachel get to wowps 2014
Wowps is the Women of the World Poetry Slam. This year it is in Austin,TX and (after some unexpected hospital bills last month) I need a little help to raise money for the flight and hotel costs in order to attend.
Whether or not I get to compete in the slam is still a little up in the air (I will have an update on this soon) but if I can't there are still workshops and side events and hosting duties and the cheering for other women and late night conversations and under ground fat activism projects that lead to changing the world that I would love to be present for.
I don't believe in non-working vacations so you aren't helping to fund a trip where I'll be sipping drinks poolside. I just happen to love working on poems and with poets and being part of this amazing event. I'd really appreciate all the help I can get!
