Hey y’all.
Something you might now know about me! I volunteer with the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls, which is just one of a BUNCH of girls rock camps around the US, UK, Canada, and Sweden. Mainly I do band art workshops, where we teach the girls to make buttons, do screenprinted band logos on t-shirts, and make zines.
There is a new documentary premiering this weekend which focuses primarily on the first camp, Portland Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls.
From an email promoting the movie:
