I'm curating a gallery exhibit! (And a bunch of other stuff...)

Until my Helluva Dame website is complete, I'll just have to put all my updates here.  And this one is a doozy!

The show my company co-produces, Mo Beasley's UrbanErotika, is really taking off this year!  We have just returned from hosting an entertaining, eye-opening, and sometimes heartwrenching panel discussion on homophobia in communities of color (see our facebook page for some of the emotional tweets sent in! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mo-Beasleys-UrbanErotika/110220492399090 ) at CatalystCon in D.C.  It was educational, eye-opening and sometimes heartwrenching.  Tears and smiles and a feeling of understanding, of being SEEN, suffused the audience.  Beautiful.

And now we are right into:

Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival,

The Love Storm Entertainment Group, motivateArt and

THIS is what UrbanErotika is about.  It's about educating, entertaining, and expanding the conversation on what healthy sexuality is.  

Or in the words of UrbanErotika founder Mo Beasley himself, what UrbanErotika is (and isn't).  

And there is so much more happening this year!  Our April 20 live performace, UrbanErotika UNZIPPED at Dixon Place, CatalystCon L.A. in September as the headlining show, and the publishing of our first UrbanErotika Anthology, also in September, the WORLD PREMIERE of the documentary "UrbanErotika: An Odyssey of Eros" in October, and so much more!

And last, but most definitely not least, we do need support to keep making this happen, to grow and expand the movement.  This is where you can help.  Yep, my first ever Indiegogo campaign, where you will find lots of pics and video clips from past shows and all kinds of titillating information about what we do.

If you can contribute $$, I'll love you forever. And if you can't I'll still love you forever.  Here's what else you can do to help our cause - Facebook us, friend us, follow us on Twitter, tell your friends, SHARE THIS EMAIL OR INDIEGOGO LINK. 

Whew!  We've got HUGE OPPORTUNITIES... and itty-bitty cash to do it all with.  Any help would be greatly appreciated by all of us here at UrbanErotika.  And from the bottom of my breathless, fluttering heart.

All love,

Shannon
