Featured Artist
Chad Goller-Sojourner
Chad Goller-Sojourner is a Seattle based solo performer and recipient of a distinguished 2008 Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission Performing Arts Fellowship. His work explores how the narrow categories we assign ourselves and others inevitably fail to represent our whole selves. In July 2008, his highly anticipated solo show, “Sitting in Circles with Rich White Girls: Memoirs of a Bulimic Black Boy,” debuted at Seattle’s Brownbox African-American Theatre.
Additional Performers Include:
Luzviminda Carpenter
She challenges oppression individually and collectively through works including poetry, curriculums, presentations, and consultations.
Crystal Ybarra
She has been said to “rip through barriers with abandon” with raw, unapologetic writing, drawing from realities of life and mind.
Ela Barton
A Filipina American queer diva who has found words to be healing, sustaining and necessary through work as a performance poet.
Marita Isabel
Ranked 29th in the International Women of the World Poetry Slam in 2009; on stage twice at the Seattle Poetry Slam Grand Slam.

If this sounds like you, then we invite you to participate in a study focusing on your life experiences, health and wellness.
Participants will earn $50 for completing a phone interview and a survey and will have the opportunity to earn up to $40 more for referring others to the study.
The goals of the Rainbow Women’s Health Survey are to understand and promote health and well-being among lesbian and bisexual women in Washington State. Previous research has indicated that lesbian and bisexual women are at somewhat elevated risk for health and mental health problems compared to their heterosexual women peers. Our study aims to understand why these disparities exist so that we can begin to address them in our community.
We are especially interested in hearing the diverse voices within our communities.
This confidential study is run through the School of Social Work at the University of Washington. For more information, contact the Rainbow Women’s Health Survey office at rainbow2@u.washington.edu or (206) 685-7986 in Seattle or (866) 577-8248 outside Seattle. Please remember that we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any information sent by email.
The Rainbow Women’s Health Survey is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health.
