[Wamvan] Introductions?

[HILARY HENEGAR]

Hi, all!

I've been on the listserv for a while but haven't met most of you. I'm a digital media strategist, communicator, connector and writer. I love seeing the WAMVan discussions and event announcements in my inbox though I rarely participate. 

I'm interested in systems change, community engagement and grassroots movement building. I like to ride my bike. 

I'm currently marketing director at Modo The Car Co-op and digital strategist/community manager for documentary-transmedia project Fractured Land. I co-founded a women in media group called Girl Gang, which is how I came to learn about WAMVan (holla, Joanna!). 

I encourage any women working in or with an interest in media to check us out: www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_102507519832961&ap=1. 

Here's our About on FB: 

A Vancouver collective of women working and/or interested in media. Through our meetups and FB group, we share information, resources, collaboration opportunities, personal projects and support. 

Each member is encouraged to access and utilize the Girl Gang platform in whatever way serves her. 

Want to host an event? hold a workshop? start a magazine? spark a revolution? Do it. Post on the Girl Gang wall or through the social media channels and find collaborators who can help.

Collective Twitter: @girlgangmedia
Collective Tumblr: girlgangmedia.tumblr.com

Any members may post and/or administer the Twitter and Tumblr; contact Hilary Henegar for passwords. 

To gain admin status for the FB - in order to create a GG event page - post to the Girl Gang group page and tag Hilary Henegar & Alexandra Samur (co-founders).

Looking forward to seeing contributions from new members. 

Peace!
Hilary

>> It's been neat to read people's intros. Looking forward to hopefully meeting more of you in person at the next Monday Media Mutiny! Dom - I think that's a great idea. I've never done anything through Trade School but it looks neat. Would love to talk more with folks about how something like that could work.

>> So about me: I'm originally from the Island and moved down to Vancouver when I started university. I did my BA at UBC in Women's Studies and Sociology and after that lucked out to get to work for some amazing feminist women MPs - Penny Priddy and Dawn Black - and MLA Jenn McGinn. When Jenn lost her seat in the 2009 election I was laid off and started my blog, Gender Focus (http://gender-focus.com). Since that time I've been running and editing GF, which is a Canadian multi-author feminist blog dealing with issues from pop culture to media literacy to politics to grassroots issues campaigns. 
>> 
>> I've also written for the Huffington Post, the Vancouver Observer, Bitch Magazine Blogs, and About-Face. I sit on the City of Vancouver Women's Advisory Committee. And I'm working on the next bunch of my "Feminism F.A.Q.s" videos, designed to give very 101-type info to people who are just learning about feminism (http://www.gender-focus.com/feminism-f-a-q-s/).

>> Oh, and my actual job is at the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, Local 378 (COPE 378), where I work as a Communications Representative.

>> Hello Everybody! My name is Dom and I came across WAM, while online looking for the Women, Art and Revolution documentary.  I’m an art historian interested in all things related to images and gender.  I’m also interested in participating in activism around media literacy from a feminist point of view.  It is very heartening to see that there is such a group in Vancouver and I hope to contribute to it any way I can. Monday night was fantastic- can’t wait for the next event!

>> One of the things I’ve been thinking about lately is creating a feminist media literacy workshop and offering it through the trade school. Having just watched Candace’s video, and Jarrah’s FAQ videos, I wonder if some (or all members) of WAM might be interested in developing something in this manner.
