BARBARA DANA

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you — Nobody — Too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d banish us — you know!

How dreary — to be — Somebody!
How public — like a Frog —
To tell one’s name — the livelong day —
To an admiring Bog!…

Guess who said that? Its was our dear friend EMILY DICKINSON, straight out of Amerherst, Mass. Emily has come to NYC to hang with the Lower Eastside Girls Club members and check out the scene on the Bowery. And here to help us further welcome Emily, BARBARA DANA. Barbara & Emily have their own relationship. Let’s hear about it…

TENNESSEE REED

If you have never met TENNESSEE REED, you are surely missing out. She will tell it how she sees it and will leave you quite informed. She’s also pretty funny. Tennessee Reed took some time out of busy schedule to come by the Lower Eastside Girls Club to share her book, Spell Albuquerque: Memoir of a “Difficult” Student, and a bit of her poetry.

MAYA & NETTA

MAYA & NETTA are two young Israeli women who have refused to serve in the Israeli Army because they believe what their country’s military is doing to the Palestinians is unjust. Maya & Netta have been traveling across the United States to tell their story and to explain why they refused.

This past summer the Lower Eastside Girls Club had the pleasure and joyful experience of meeting six Rwandan women who came to Brooklyn as guests of Blue Marble Ice Cream. They came to train in ice cream production and take part in a benefit to support the creation of an ice cream shop of their own in Butare, Rwanda. The shop fittingly called Sweet Dreams will teach the women of Rwanda a variety of practical skills and help them earn a sustainable income. Sweet Dreams will also support local dairy farmers and contribute to the development of Butare’s economy.

The women are members of Ingoma Nshya, Rwanda’s pioneer women’s drumming group. Founded as an initiative to bring women together in a safe, happy, productive space, Ingoma Nshya began with a handful of members and is now over 100 drummers strong.

For more information, please visit Blue Marble Ice Cream.
