I said in my post Practicing Presence at V-Day that “I saw .. Eve Ensler weeping in the hallway, carrying a burden …” If you saw what she’s seen, heard what she’s heard, and have been where she's been, then you would know why this is so, that she walks sometimes and weeps.

First I have to prove to you that I am indeed here in New Orleans with thousands of women celebrating V-Day; so, here's a picture, a gargantuan expression of the vaginal symbol associated with the V-Day movement. It's sitting in the center of the main stage at the Louisiana Superdome.
V-Day, the global non profit founded by Eve Ensler in 1998 at the first benefit of her award winning play The Vagina Monologues, will celebrate it's 10th anniversary of working for the end of violence against women. "V To The Tenth" will take place April 11-12 and will reclaim and transform the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans into "Superlove."

I learned today that I will have the great honor of interviewing Eve Ensler author, playwright, performer and global activist.
