Zoe's New Engaging Presentation
Zoe Nicholson, master storyteller, presents her life's highlights.
The route from insight to action;
sharing historic events, and sending off everyone inspired,
and ready for change.
Activist, feminist, artist, performer, Zoe Nicholson is prolific, radical, magnetic and controversial. Central to Zoe’s her feminism is the Equal Rights Amendment which has called her to study Miss Alice Paul, activism, creating change and the ERA.
The Answer is Yes is a multi-media presentation combining the PBS program, We’ll Meet Again with Ann Curry featuring Zoe which zeros in on her 37 day fast for the ERA in the summer of 1982. After the video, Zoe shares her experience leading up to the show, the shoot itself and the aftermath.
It began with just one simple word, Yes. Zoe's preference to say yes and get details later has led her through fantastic highs and lows with many miracles unfolding. It started early in her life and continues today. Risk, commitment to change, paying the price and reaping the winter wheat.
60 minutes with Q&A.
Unforgettable, Inspiring, Historic.
Role-model: Daring and Funny.
Visionary with a wide rearview mirror,
Headlights set on the future.
At 70, it is easy to see it has been one extraordinary life. A life well spent with no end in sight. It appears she is just getting started. You ask her how it happened. You will hear one simple answer; she said, “yes.” Mostly, she said, yes. Occasionally, a no came after a life-changing yes.
Not sports, not travel, not property, not votes, not money.
Zoe said yes to an inner adventure, to an unknown destination without a map.
- Yes in risk
- Yes in conscience
- Yes in equality.
Always yes in equality. The only thing that wounded repeatedly was the slow reveal that others did not feel the same way. In fact, she always invited others to feel the same way, daring them to be their very best.
Standing alone has never stopped her from staring down the edge of a cliff. One that spot, she has raised many flags; Labor Rights, Peace, Feminism, LGBTQ Rights, Equity and always, Equality.
As Somerset Maugham warned, it is easy to be a holy man on a mountain but, in the world, it is as difficult as a razor’s edge. For Zoe this was not a challenge but a directive; never relying on consensus or permission.
Zoe’s fundamental insistence on justice, unvarnished truth, unleashed observation is both magnetic and repelling. It is loud and quiet. It is clear and strident.
Equality and nothing less.
"THE ANSWER IS YES"
Zoe's presentation is her life story and what happened with many times she said, "YES."
