Veigar had a wife and family but decided at the age of 38 to undergo gender reassignment. The inner struggle was a journey as difficult\, if not more so\, than the solo expedition she undertakes. These two stories of conflict and struggle are intertwined as the film documents her 103-day journey around Iceland\, with the magical coastline of the country a backdrop to the story of Veiga’s transition.

Whether we travel in a car\, bus\, train\, bicycle\, wheelchair or on foot\, we can’t get to where we need to go — work\, school\, healthcare\, supermarket or socializing — without transportation.  All too often\, government transportation policies promote driving a car over other\, less-costly means of travel.  This has presented significant problems for Black and Latinx populations where car ownership is lower and decades of disinvestment in communities has resulted in poor transit\, walking or biking options.  Communities of color also bear the brunt of highway expansions\, which can destroy historic neighborhoods\, displace residents and and impact the health of those left behind.\n\nPlease join us on Wednesday\, June 2\, 2021\, 3:00-5:00 PM (CST) for a discussion on transportation policy and its role in systemic racism.  The discussion will be led by Oni K. Blair\, executive director of LINK Houston\, a nonprofit advocating for transportation equity.  The Zoom presentation is free and open to the public. Donations are encouraged.  Registration is required:  https://www.centerhealingracism.org/event/racism-in-transportation-a-zoom-dialogue/ URL:https://hpjc.org/event/racism-in-transportation/ LOCATION:Center for the Healing of Racism\, 3412 Crawford Street\, Houston\, TX\, 77004 CATEGORIES:Presentation or Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hpjc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/CFHR-FLIER-june-2021-RACISM-IN-TRANSPORTATION-e1621777060463.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Center for the Healing of Racism":MAILTO:cfhr1@juno.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210602T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210602T130000 DTSTAMP:20210525T030338Z CREATED:20210525T030337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210525T030338Z UID:10001172-1622635200-1622638800@hpjc.org SUMMARY:Contemplation & Sound: Unitarian Universalist Tradition DESCRIPTION:Join the Rothko Chapel for a livestream meditation in celebration of Pride month in the Unitarian Universalist tradition led by Rev.
