With humility and humor, Bev Bowers brings us into her world of women’s music and partnerships with women’s organizations in Cincinnati and internationally.  She is director of Women’s Way Ohio, formed to support local women in the arts, and launched the first SWAN Day in Cincinnati, dedicated to women artists.

Bev also brought the salon concept to Women Writing for a Change, where an exchange of ideas and food provides nourishment for those seeking self-exploration.

A lover of movies, she had produced Sapphire – The Uppity Blues Women, and a feature about women in baseball.  Not only a poet, Bev feels compelled to find the story in every experience.

Listen as Bev enlightens us on her passions and her boundless energy, and how they have shaped her world, and ours.

 

In Bev's words:

My spirit lies in natural things
The flight of a bird, landing on a perch,
then a quick song, then back into flight
to another perch, another look around
and another quick song. I realize they
fly out of the need to avoid the hawk.
they look for food, they sing to be
their life is spent so so so aware...

Sending Forth Words that are Bold and Necessary


But once you become active in something, something happens to you. You get excited and suddenly you realize you count.  - Studs Terkel
