October Red Sneaker Highlights in Brooklyn NY in 2018

on Sun, 10/21/2018 - 03:36

The first pair of red sneakers I noticed in Brooklyn NY were worn by none other than famous auther Barbara Kingsolver! She was speaking at St. Joseph's College on Monday, October 15th, and I happened to get to her live interview, compliments of Green Light Bookstore. The podcasts of the talks will be on their website for you to enjoy watching barefoot if you like.

The mature, relaxed Barbara Kingsolver dressed in jeans and a casual long sleeved shirt (not tucked in) was personable and wise. The accomplished author on her first speaking tour for her new release Unsheltered was also lucky!

 We have yet to see what the outcome will be yet we are all tuning in to these matters that used to seem 'personal or otherwise not meaningful to more than the victims, even if many felt their lives were impacted in horrendous ways.' 
 
Time for some Good News, but again not the final vote: The US Congress House of Representatives passed Resolution 72

When a father or male figure is abusing a family, that person needs to be held accountable. Too often victims are confused or afraid to get the needed help and moreover 'helping systems' too often add to that confusion or even blame the mother for not doing enough.

This could really be a game-changer. Let's hope every state can look into this as well as promote House Resolution 72 which would prioritize children's safety and give custody of children to alleged victims of domestic abuse.
