I’m pleased and honored to have been awarded a scholarship to attend the Women and Power Conference 2010 that will be held at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, in late September. One of the most celebrated women's gatherings in the world, the Women and Power Conference is unique in its rich diversity of speakers, performers, and participants and is dedicated to empowering women to bring hope, healing, and change into their own lives and to the world around them. On the conference schedule is a discussion with Phyllis Rodríguez and Aïcha el-Wafi, led by Dr. Edit Schlaffer, Founder and Chair of Women Without Borders, an organization that focuses on women in international politics as well as women as agents of change in the international arena and civil society. This is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness about the peace and reconciliation efforts begun by Phyllis and Aïcha after 9/11, and also to raise awareness of our film, In Our Son’s Name.

The Huffington Post just published a thought-provoking article about Archbishop Desmond Tutu speaking on forgiveness at an event sponsored by The Forgiveness Project in London. The talk is about meetings between victims of violence and their offenders.
