Oh the places I get to go.
Nothing could have been more surprising than a phone call I got January 2019. Two guys saw me in, "We'll Meet Again," and asked to film my speech at the Los Angeles Women's March. They were set up when I arrived. Out furled a red carpet that was just beginning. Months went by and call #2 was to come to L.A. to video an interview. Slowly I understood this was for a documentary, "Still Working 9 to 5." My part would be to talk about how the original "Working 9 to 5," impacted women, how things had changed or not, and what was the status of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Flying to Virginia with Jeri Burton (President of Nevada NOW State #36) to see the vote for state #38 to ratify the ERA and meeting Lilly Ledbetter was a dream never imagined.
