Greetings from Athens! I was invited to perform Hand to Mouth as part of an eating disorder/body image awareness campaign here on O.U.'s campus called "Every Body Week."
Last night's show went very well. The sponsors and I were very pleased with the students' response.
Some quotes:
"Great show!"
"My girlfriend had bulimia... so this show meant a lot to me. Thanks."
"I loved how you used humor... This was much more interesting than a lecture on eating disorders."
"Although each bulimic has a different life, it was amazing to me to see how our paths crossed. I say and do the exact things she [Lisa] said and did. The connection between us, whether she knew it or not, was incredible."
One woman came up afterwards to simply give me a hug.
I've had a wonderful time here. Athens is a very pretty town and everyone made me feel so welcome. Thanks!
Next stop: Columbus, Ohio, where I will perform the show at Capital University on the March 8th.
