There you go, Meenakshi! Being your beautiful, insightful, radical self :)
Thank you for sharing your positive experience and excitement for the
upcoming conference! I have been reflecting on feminism here in Coast
Salish territories and feelings of alienation within and outside of
feminist communities. You have reinvigorated my excitement and got me
thinking about creative ways to approach the upcoming conference! I am
looking forward to disagreeing/agreeing/agitating.
