Who Does She Think She is?

As a mother and as an artist, I am constantly looking for women in the world who are talking about how they balance being a mother and being an artist; the struggles to nurture child and craft; the need for the solitude that is needed to create. There seems to be this sort of unspoken assumption that women, who are mothers, are supposed to give up their dreams and aspirations in order to be a mother and do both well. Or be ridiculed if they don't do both well.

Words cannot explain the relief I felt when I came across the trailer for the film "Who Does She Think She is?" I plan to either host a filming here in New Orleans or drive to a city nearby where it is showing. Maybe both. In the meantime, please check out this trailer and their website, www.whodoesshethinksheis.net.
