I joined the Northshore Democratic Women's Club last night. They met in the Abita Springs Town Hall. It was a wonderful meeting, well more of an anniversary (the 3rd for the club) really.
It was wonderful to meet a large group of women that share my values and care about the things I care about. One women described it as a group of "like-minded" women. I never liked that term "like-minded". Kind of connotes to me a group of people that can't think for themselves...and this was not that kind of group.
It was a group of educated, intelligent, politically savvy women...to include women of color. I don't see a lot of women of color from where I sit and that upsets me. I truly bloom in a diverse environment. I don't like to be surrounded by homogeneity...I like different points of view, people of varying backgrounds (only two of the women I spoke to last night were from here), and disparate cultural influences.
I'm looking forward to the next meeting and some of the other associated get-togethers, namely a book club someone mentioned.
