How can two valley girls, who were Grant High School cheerleaders, change the world? Well, for one, we never retired our pom poms. Through the years we both cheered for our causes and produced culture for a range of media.
Through the years, we also lost touch with each other. Until April 2022, when Genie read a Facebook post of Wendy’s, expressing gratitude to the cast and crew of her Holocaust and tolerance teaching play which toured schools in Philadelphia. Wendy’s phone rang.
Genie - “Hello? ”Tell me about SURVIVORS.”
Wendy - “Genie?”
Genie - “Yeah. So why just Philly?
Wendy - “I’m listening.”
That reconnection led to a partnership and a shared mission. Together we aim to develop, produce and support plays, films, dance, music , and literature to inspire tolerance, promote inclusion, and foster positive social change.
