Ann Bancroft

The "Explore the Four Corners" event was a wonderful experience. The speakers were inspiring, the settings well made, and everyone was a joy to speak to. It was not completely without hitch, as the backdrops and props for the Tokyo corner (where I was) were not fully set up due to workers being locked out of the Depot earlier in the day so we had precious little to work with. Samantha Rei and her models, being the professionals that they are, were still able to pull it off with aplomb. I think that everyone had a really fun time, and getting the chance to hear Ann Bancroft speak was a rare honour. She is truly a courageous human being, someone who has worked hard for and achieved her dreams. I hope that in a few years, when Inara is old enough to appreciate her words, we can go see her speak again, as Ann is absolutely one of the best possible role models a young girl can have.

Thank you to the Ann Bancroft Foundation for hosting such a beautiful event, and thanks to Samantha Rei of Blasphemina's Closet for continuing to let me take pretty pictures at all of her events!
