Then, the following night I will be performing with GLASYS at the 2017 Awards of Excellence Show and accepting this year’s Award of Excellence for Artistic Expression in the field of mental and behavioral health for my advocacy work through music, TV, film and the Keep Oregon Well campaign and social movement to fight stigma and end discrimination.

Thanks again to my old friend and Designer Emily Payne (Project Runway / Leathertongue / Project Runway: All Stars) for her support of our mental health advocacy efforts!

I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing her at the Clift Hotel about self-care and resilience in the face of reality TV competition show stress for Keep Oregon Well while I was in San Francisco last week.
