JoAnn F. Peterson portraying Frances Perkins
Frances Perkins, who is called "The Mother of Social Security", would have been famous simply by being the first woman to serve in a president’s cabinet as Franklin Roosevelt's Secretary of Labor. However, her involvement in the New Deal and constant fighting for the American worker makes her a legend. Although she is not well-known today, the work of Frances Perkins lives on in our unemployment insurance, minimum wage, shorter work week, federal laws regulating child labor and worker’s safety, and of course, Social Security.

Sculpting Clay or How I Became Mother of Unicorns
Sculpting Clay or How I Became Mother of Unicorns is a solo show written and performed by Ayesis Clay. It is a coming-of-age tale about one woman’s attempts to navigate the fantastical journey of her dreams while repeatedly being drawn into the complicated, often dark realities that her students face: self-actualization, oppressive systems in schools, incarceration, and even death. Weaving fantastical projections with live action, this solo performance addresses a silently increasing problem in our schools: secondary traumatic stress in educators.
It usually accompanies the "REIGNITE: Addressing Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Educators" workshop.
