highlights from green festival 2015

Peace, blessings and green love to all...

I was totally on location for two days of this year's Green Festival in San Francisco, California providing media coverage for Brown Sugar Promotions LLC similar to our previous years. The festival generally spans for three days and hosts over 250 exhibitors showcasing the very best in sustainability and green living. As a proud member of the Sierra Club, I also enjoyed a discount on tickets...yup, I really wanted to put that out there ;)

Day 1: Friday 11/13/15
This year, the festival was held at the Cow Palace (a venue I haven't been to since the Family Values Tour a la KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Filter...anyway) which is huge with tons of parking compared to Fort Mason and the Concourse Convention Center in 2014 and 2013 respectfully. I spent most of the day browsing the Arena, enjoying lunch, networking and a bit of shopping as well as stacking up on samples of new products including the Pomegranate & Dark Chocolate Kashi bars. A special thanks to the following exhibitors: Kivita, Bee D'Vine, Naturade, DotGreen, Vegan Smart, LaVigne, AnnaMarie Skin Care, Living Green Design, Kashi, AloeCream, EZwyp, American Health, Blue Orange Games, All 4 Humanity, Earth Paste, Now Real Tea, Purely Inspired, SDI Insulation Inc, Savers and Paintball Tickets

Day 2: Saturday 11/14/15
A bit more active in the North and South concourses, I spent the day test driving the VW eGolf (actually S/O to my driver Jennifer for getting me around safely and informing me on the benefits of this really cool vehicle), enjoying a meditation session in the yoga doom, attending Ryan Folands' seminar Build Your Green Business & Change the World the Expert Dojo Way and even participating in a cooking show with Chef Kab. A special thanks to exhibitors: DotGreen, Bee D'Vine, Sweet Pot Naturals, Way Better Snacks, Organic Roots, Paavani Skincare, Solar City, It Works, Soma Naturals, Nirvana Jewel, Black to Life, Harvest Hemp Foods, GoodLife Roots, GoRaw, Pascha Chocolate Company, Organic Essence, Wildflowers, 5 Senses Gems and Jewelry and Integral Yoga Institute San Francisco

What I liked most about the festival this year was the venue and the diversity among the exhibitors, the professionalism of the booth operators and the friendliness of the volunteers. What I did not like about the festival this year was the food or lack of variety within the food court...the worst garden burger i have EVER tasted. All that being stated, I am excited for what next years festival has to offer. Click here to view more pics.

equality, diversity and justice: a word for women's equality day 2014

Reflecting back when Easy Bake Ovens, My Little Pony and Barbie were what girls were made of
Occupations like nurses, maids and secretaries were the only alternatives for being housewives and mothers and then feminism gave birth to votes and working women with 9 to 5 jobs just like the boys in blue collar suits…

Women’s Equality Day is not about “being a woman” it’s about equality, diversity and [social] justice. 8 years, 4 months and 3 days before I was born, congress member Bella Abzug dubbed the date Women’s Equality Day to commemorate the 1920 passage of the 19th amendment to the U.S. constitution granting women the right to vote. That was on August 26th 1971. It has been 43 years of celebrating equality and today in 2014 we continue to appreciate and cultivate progress for this struggle for women’s rights dating back to 1848.

Today as we’re gathered here in San Francisco basking in unity and peace, look around and witness our equality. The white and black, red and brown, yellow, tan and orange. A melting pot of homemade multicultural-ness and diversity. Today, we share this anniversary with our sisters and brothers in spirit. Regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identification, wealth, health, education, political affiliation or choice of occupation, today at this very moment, we are simply equal.

As humans but specifically as women, we deserve to be seen and heard for our contributions to society, our global community. I speak now of our sister Marissa Alexander in Florida. Where is her equality? Where is her justice? Marissa is a working mother who fired a warning shot at the ceiling to protect herself from being brutally attacked by her ex domestic partner. As a result Marissa was jailed and is facing a 60 year prison sentence per Florida State law. The Stand Your Ground Law did not work in her favor as it did George Zimmerman who shot and killed 17 year old Trayvon Martin.

I’m outraged by this and I don’t even know Marissa personally however her case and the specific details of her charges just serves as a reminder that this struggle for equality especially within our judicial system is far from over…for any of us. If you are not familiar with the Marissa Alexander’s case, I urge you to look it up, logon to defendwomensrights.org and join the fight for justice. Thank you!
