I have fibromyalgia, which among other things makes it difficult for me to walk or stand for long periods, so unfortunately I won’t be able to join all the amazing people attending the Women’s March in person.  Having this venue to join those marchers in solidarity means a great deal to me.

No matter what we hear from the current administration, I fully believe that it is our duty as a people to keep striving to ensure that people of any gender, religion (or lack of), ethnicity, body type, ability/disability, and sexuality receive the same protection, treatment, and respect in all aspects of life.

I am 35 years old, originally from the Philadelphia suburbs and now living in Maryland with my husband.  I work in the environmental non-profit sector as a content writer (http://colleenbeaty.wixsite.com/portfolio). I am also bisexual, a witch, and a lifelong feminist.
