Building on the momentum from her show, Singer has organized a series of performances and talks about issues important to women today. Many of the presenters will be Singer's models because, serendipitously, most of her models are performers or otherwise leaders in their fields.

"Beyond Barbie: Piecing Together Today's Woman" will take place Thursday evenings from September 22 - November 3 from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM at Crossroads Art Center.

Life in the First Person: Women's Stories Uncovered will serve as the grand finale in the event series, Beyond Barbie. Seven reknowed Richmond writers will join forces to create a night of mixed-genre storytelling, reading and performance art via poetry and prose. Come out to hear Life in the First Person with Gigi Amateau, novelist; Denise Bennett, storyteller; Tarfia Faizullah, poet; Julie Geen, freelance writer; Shelia Gray, performance artist; Valley Haggard, creative nonfiction writer and Alexandra Nelson Iwashyna, blogger.
