Conversation with Calpernia CWC

Description

I hope you'll spend an hour with me for an upbeat, positive discussion of events in my life. I want to share how I have made the most of each unique opportunity and challenge I have faced. Many of you have written after seeing Soldier's Girl or reading Mark 947. I sat down with my friend Andrea James to discuss many of the questions and comments that you sent in response to the film and book. I also discuss how I'm combining my stage experience and activism to create new opportunities for the community. Topics include: * Growing up in and coming out to a conservative family * Coming to terms with your feelings while in an intolerant work environment * Finding a community and a place to express myself * Moving from part-time to full-time living * The joys and hard work involved in stage performance * Becoming an activist following my boyfriend's murder * Upcoming media projects
