Check out the City Pulse article “She Said/ She Said” (March 3) about The HerStories Project! Thanks again to Bill Castanier for pursuing the story.

This post is the first to speak directly as the organizer of The HerStories Project, an endeavor to celebrate stories about women taking its initial form this month. A few weeks ago, Lansing Online News invited me to write about how HerStories in March 2010 came into being from my perspective as organizer. My thoughts now are published on LON as “Creating Spaces”, and I hope the piece gives participants a promising preview of the program.

Sincerely,

Melissa Dey Hasbrook
