This video captures the essence and purpose. Metaphorically\, each thread of the headscarf is intricately woven to form a profound tapestry\, symbolizing the complexity and beauty of our shared commonality. \nThis virtual experience will be a health and humanities focus – “Headscarf Story Circle Gathering: The Silent Subject of Menopause.” Women of all ages agree that menopause has not been an open or common discussion\, yet it comes with many questions\, concerns\, and myths. Participants will hear from experts in women’s health and have a chance to share their own stories of experiences\, fears\, and remedies. \nWe are excited to also have the following Greater Minnesota community ambassadors join us as they prepare to bring Headscarf Story Circle into their communities. \nAmbassador Bios\nTawonda Burks of Rochester\, Minnesota is the current Director of Operations at RAEDI (Rochester Area Economic Development Inc.).

All Discussion Leaders are either active service members or Veterans. \nConsideration of central topics and themes\, and discussion of key moments from military history\, such as self-emancipation among the U.S. Colored Troops members in the Civil War\, or the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell more recently\, will spark greater conversations about service\, democracy\, citizenship\, equality and more.
