P15/07a The Gender Identity Project: Art Book

AIRED  from February 17th on, “Positive Living Vibrations” with Sara Troy and her guest Daphne Chan

ChanDaphne_FlawlessSabrinacopyDaphne Chan’s current project “Transparency: The Gender Identity Project” is, “a powerful statement in visibility and diversity.” The project centers on visually depicting individuals who challenge socially prescribed constructions of gender identity and gender expression. Still in its infancy, the work has received widespread attention. The project was listed on Buzzfeed’s “Transgender Art & Culture In 2014” list and Chan successfully completed an Indiegogo campaign for the project. The funds raised will enable Chan to travel to New York for a three-month residency to complete the project. NMP had an opportunity to talk to Chan about the project..

In a world where there are so many life style differences and still such hate for those differences, we need to understand the why the what and in how Gender Identity people have to go through to live as them selves. With T.V shows like Transparent with Jeffrey Tambor and BRUCE JENNER openly coming out as Trans Gender we are shown that no matter how one tries to live a life expected, the truth of a soul must finally free to be or forever live a lie. 

DaphneChan_headshotDaphne was first exposed to this at 13 years old, when her mother took her to see a lip-synching transexual in a seedy bar in downtown Bangkok. The songbird strutted in the spotlight wearing high heels and a skin-tight, low-cut sequined gown. After the performance, members of the audience were invited backstage to squeeze her breasts as they posed for photos. she was shocked, confused and mesmerized. It was the first time she witnessed the outright subversion of social conventions.”

Daphne Chan’s work explores identity and how it reveals itself through gender, culture, sexuality and body image. With “The Flawless Sabrina” (2006) the fluidity of gender and sexuality were explored by documenting a drag queen named Jack Doroshow. The project delved into communal taboos of populations that rankle social precepts such as the gender identity of genderqueer: a person who identifies as a gender other than “man” or “woman”. The commonality is that all genderqueer people reject the notion that there are only two genders in the world as they believe binary gender is a social construct. Next, “Her Interior” (2007) examines the conceptual conflation between women’s bodies and domestic interiors, how the identification between self and interior is linked with women. Each woman interacts with features of her environment in order to explore how she occupies that particular physical and psychological space.

11223917_10153307284544042_3106530475704415510_nThe fragmentation of the bodies emphasizes the compartmentalization that is inherent in women’s identities. “Transparency: The Gender Identity Project” is a visual depiction of the LGBT and genderqueer community of New York that is unique and much needed. There is still a lack of visibility of specific identities and uncovering these identities will challenge the common stereotypes for what certain identities are expected to look like. It’s a powerful statement in visibility and diversity. The goal is to celebrate and encourage the expansion and public awareness of queer fluid expression. The transgender community has historically faced systemic discrimination and this project provides a platform for visibility, recognition and eventual acceptance. With each project, Chan attempts to reveal one more aspect of our identity and to distinguish the physical corporeal grounding in our bodies and the amorphous, socio-cultural precepts layered upon us. 

If you are transgender and live in New York Daphne would love to feature you in her book. 

I’m beyond thrilled to have met the inimitable Jeffrey Tambor! I was able to briefly talk about the Transparency photography project and I’ll update you all on any progress!

15/01 Writing, publishing and promoting a book.

Airing January 6th-12th on The Writers Divine Den with Jackie VanCampen and her guest Anna Weber.

In this rich and informative interview with my guest Anna Weber, you will get a glimpse of the world of publishing. Anna shares invaluable information and tips on navigating the myths and truths about publishing. You will gain much insight and perspective while Anna guides us through her library of knowledge. Get many of your questions answered, like what’s the difference between self-publishing and a publishing company; marketing strategies; digital versus print. A show not to be missed.

Anna WeberAnna Weber has spent over a decade working with authors and has found whether they are first timers or authors with experience, some common themes always emerge. Writing, publishing and promoting a book can be simple, but it is not easy.  She understands that the publishing process can be overwhelming, and knows that for most authors, the biggest fear is not even knowing where to begin in a process that feels immediately complicated and intimidating. Her greatest expertise is helping authors wisely navigate the publishing maze.

Anna’s information is edgy, current and creative!  Her support as a Literary Strategist helps create powerfully effective MAPS (Motivated Action Plans) and her publication, Giving You the Edge, provides tools, tips, techniques, best “your book as a business” practices and industry resources. Her tele-classes and webinars, based on her unique Wisdom Circle format, have the potential to open you to publishing resources not otherwise available.

Of the clients who have utilized Anna as a Literary Strategist, many came to her… frustrated, lost, not knowing where to turn, afraid of being taken advantage of, or uncertain about how to even get started. They subsequently achieved the dream of becoming accomplished, recognized authors, sharing their message with the world by putting their Voices in Print.  She took them from that point where they simply imagine sitting at home with a published book in their hands, to the reality of feeling the personal pride that comes with having completed the journey.

Although Anna Weber serves the publishing/promotion needs of authors in the Phoenix Metro area, she has clients that span the globe.  A clothing designer for 17 years, Anna comes to the table with a keen edge on creativity.  She also served as a Bar-Certified Paralegal for close to a decade and upon receiving her Master’s in Organizational Management, has combined her creativity and analytics with some strong left-brained strategies and a deep understanding of human potential and the dynamics of change. She is a mother, proud of the accomplishments of her three children and her grandchildren and looking forward to sharing her life with her husband Robert Stearns, a childhood friend – travelling and sharing her wisdom with aspiring authors.

P15/01a When Did You Die & Do you choose to Live

Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest  Temple Hayes Aired January 6th/15

               8 Steps to Stop Dying Every Day and Start Waking Up

When Did You DIE?  When someone told you that you weren’t good enough? When you buried who you really are for fear that others would disapprove? Or when you gave up your creative dreams to take a “practical” job? Are you in a relationship that does not ‘relate’ to you?

You may not have realized you were dying, but you have been dying a little more each day. And that’s the miracle of Temple Hayes’ remarkable new book, When Did You Die? 8 Steps to Stop Dying Every Day and Start Waking Up (HCI Books). It empowers you to wake up and take back your life!

Hayes is today one of the most respected and authentically inspiring leaders in spiritual enrichment and a sought-after speaker. A Unity minister in St. Petersburg Fl., with a global following, and an extremely popular radio show, Hayes knows firsthand what it is to die to your true self and your dreams.

templeBorn in a rural Southern church-going community, she knew from the beginning she was different from those around her. Her life was filled with strife–violence in the home, a lack of love and compassion, blatant neglect. Her father killed her adored cat, later ran over her dog with his truck and when she was helping her beloved dog, her grandfather–with reckless abandon–ran over her with his car. Horrifyingly, her mother was forced into shock treatments for not conforming to local morale judgments. What terrible message did THAT convey to her preteen daughter? Men tried to force themselves on Hayes. So at 13, she sought to numb the pain with alcohol bought at the local grocery store. But there was more than she was hiding, she knew she had a deep connection to the spirit which no one would approve or believe because it didn’t conform to traditional Christian teachings. And the biggest secret of all was that she was attracted to other girls. So each day, she denied who she was, diving deeper into numbness, dying a little more each day.

And so she raged on, with a drinking problem that resulted in multiple auto accidents, arrests, the loss of her driver’s license, and years of bad behaviour. Over the years, despite outwardly having a very successful professional career in the corporate world, she floundered in relationships, felt empty and hid her sexual identity. And then slowly she emerged — with a deep hunger for spiritual connection, a connection that led to her healing and to the wisdom that she offers in When Did You Die? to help others resurrect themselves.

Says Hayes: “Many people do not realize that there are many layers of being asleep and dying while we are living. We are so caught up in the motions of living, eating, working, and making and keeping appointments that we don’t realize that we died to our potential a long time ago. We have become robotic! How do you know whether you’ve been dying a bit every day? One key way is to notice if you are feeling disconnected or drained rather than energized or impassioned about your life… the inner cause of feeling disconnected and drained is that our society and surroundings often do not allow us the chance to be our true selves. We often approach life being half awake which gets in the way of our success.

“True success is measured by how we thrive and live being totally alive, rather than being drained and weary. Subtle deaths prevent us from experiencing the miracles and magic that are our birthright. Your light is your energy, your gift to the world. And your lightness of being is your gift to yourself. Making a decision to stop dying will greatly increase your capacity to start living and to manifest your true purpose in life. You will now begin to shine.”  

When Did You Die? is designed to inspire you to become more alive, more authentic, more youthful, and more energetic!

book temopA much-needed wake-up call for an emotionally and spiritually drained generation, the book offers a profound 8-step program to propel you to a healthier, happier, and more prosperous life. This inspiring, realistic guide is packed with motivational tools, shamanic surprises, daily practices, uplifting parables, and good, old-fashioned Southern storytelling. Chapter by chapter, step by step, you’ll learn how you connect with those subtle moments which will leave you either disconnected and drained or energized and impassioned. Discover practical ways to actually go through fear and not let it stop you. You’ll learn how restoring your soul re-energizes you and creates an open heart. When Did You Die? shifts the paradigm and lifts you to live beyond your greatest vision.

Hayes is the embodiment of what she teaches. Authentic to the core, she inspires millions around the world: “I had almost become comfortable being a chicken even though deep down I always knew I was an eagle destined for an ‘eagle’s life.’ The eagle within me continued to call me to keep going.” And so Hayes did…living in full brilliance instead of dying a bit more each day.
