Description
In 2018, we had the pleasure of meeting with Jeanie Morrow (she/her), a member of W.O.M.A.N., Inc.'s leadership team through the 80's and 90's. As we talked, we updated her with our current efforts and learned about W.O.M.A.N., Inc.'s past work including the formation of programs specific to working with lesbian survivors of domestic violence. In this episode, Jeanie shares her rich history with W.O.M.A.N., Inc., first as a volunteer in 1984 and eventually as Executive Director 14 years later. Currently, Jeanie is a licensed therapist in the Bay Area. She grew up in Philadelphia, but has lived in the Bay Area for more than 30 years. She is employed with another organization now but continues to provide direct service through my volunteer work at the Kaiser Bereavement program, and through Red Cross disaster mental health services. Jeanie continues to be active politically with the support of her partner and their voting-age ( he is 18 now!) cat.  Read more about Jeanie's involvement with W.O.M.A.N., Inc. on our blog: https://womaninc.wordpress.com/2018/09/18/meet-jeanie-morrow-former-w-o-m-a-n-inc-executive-director-leader-of-thewoman-to-woman-domestic-violence-program/ Host Bio:  Shaena Lee S.
